KULTI/DHANBAD/RANCHI: Bengal lifted its border blockade towards Jharkhand round 6.30pm Friday, opening the floodgates for stalled site visitors that stretched as much as 30km at some locations throughout the 20-hour face-off triggered by CM Mamata Banerjee accusing Damodar Valley Company of “flooding Bengal to avoid wasting Jharkhand”.

Mamata wrote to PM Modi, searching for his intervention in stopping flooding in Bengal due to water launch by DVC. She stated Bengal would “disengage solely” from the PSU and its initiatives within the state if the Centre acted unilaterally.

BJP’s Kulti MLA Ajay Podder visited Duburdihi checkpoint and requested police to point out the government order to seal the border.
