West Bengal Governor irked over claims at army

December 03, 2016 14:07

West Bengal Governor K N Tripathi has waded into the army row, with him saying, "One should be careful while making any allegation againsta responsible organisation like army."

A massive stand-off was seen against West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee and the Centre over the presence of army officials at toll plazas.

The CM had slammed the move, saying that permission from the state wasn't given for such exercises and the row even echoed in Parliament on Friday with TMC seeing "sinister" designs behind the move and the government vehemently denying the charge, saying it was a routine exercise conducted in full knowledge of the local authorities.
