"The local people have certain specific demands. They want permanent CAPF camps. I will convey their demands to the right place. The people there want justice. I am always there with them,” the West Bengal Governor said.

Speaking on the occasion, he also said that the situation in the troubled pockets in Murshidabad has improved to a great extent following the deployment of CAPF there.

While I appreciate the Governor's efforts, I wonder why state and central governments can't work together more effectively on these issues. The political blame game needs to stop when people's safety is at stake.

Permanent CAPF camps might be necessary for now, but we should focus on long-term solutions too. Community dialogues and education programs could help prevent such incidents in future.
