KOLKATA: BJP, Left and Congress leaders were on Friday stopped from going to Baduria in West Bengal's North 24 Parganas district as the situation was volatile following communal clashes earlier this week, officials said.

"The situation is still tense. We have not allowed any delegation to go there as it might create problems," a senior district official said.

"We have been stopped near Ashoknagar area on the grounds that if we go to those areas it might create law and order problem. But we are not going there for any political programme. We are going there to meet the people who have suffered due to riots," Left Front legislative party leader Sujan Chakraborty said.

Chakraborty said the Left Front would organise a demonstration against the police and the TMC government in Barasat area of the district.
