Siliguri,
Feb. 6, : Akhil Bharatiya Adivasi Vikas Parishad (ABAVP) activists on
Friday staged a 24-hour protest over a clash between tribals and police.

The tribals have given the call to protest against the police firing on them at Nagrakata.

ABAVP Assistant Secretary Rajesh Toppno said police arrested four
members of the group when they tried to protect their supporters.

"When our workers protested against the arrests, the police started
firing on them. That is why again we have come on the streets to
protest against the firings," Toppno said.

Reportedly, the four ABAVP leaders were involved in a recent clash with the Gorkha Janamukti Morcha (GJM).

The clash between Gorkha Janmukti Morcha (GJM) and ABAVP took place
last month when supporters of the GJM took out a rally on January 16.

The strike had a huge impact in the entire Terai and Dooars region, and
all the shops, schools and other institutions remained closed since
dawn. (ANI)
