New Delhi, May 27: A Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) worker was shot dead in North 24 Parganas district of West Bengal on Sunday night. Chandan Shaw, 24, was shot dead by unidentified assailants last night while he was driving a two-wheeler.

The murder has made the area tense leading to the deployment of security forces in the area.

Post-poll violence has continued in various parts of West Bengal. Earlier, reports of an attack on a state minister's convoy, beating up of ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) workers and ransacking party offices allegedly by BJP workers came in.

On Sunday, Forest Minister Binay Krishna Burman's convoy was attacked by those allegedly belonging to the BJP following which he was rescued by police who rushed to the place, police said.

Violent incidents were also reported from Dinhata in Coochbehar, Paharpur in Jalpaiguri and Gangarampur Dakshin Dinajpur, sources in the state police department said.

Extra police forces have been sent to Bhatpara and Kankinara in North 24 Parganas district following a clash between TMC and BJP workers, a senior police officer said.

West Bengal witnessed a saffron surge in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls as the BJP inflicted a blow to ruling TMC by winning 18 of total 42 Lok Sabha seats in the state. The TMC managed to get 22 seats.

Both the TMC and the BJP have blamed each other for the violence in the state. In another incident, a close aide of BJP leader Smriti Irani was also shot dead in Uttar Pradesh's Amethi on Sunday. The family members of the deceased have put the blame of Congress workers.

BJP is burning West Bengal which is resulting in getting common people killed .  Politicians are provoking commong people for riot thereby to get sympathy and political benefit.   BJP has already planned for disturbance in Bengal and managed to get few seats due to hate politics.  It tried for same in Kerala but people of Kerala did not pay attention to misguiding by bjp and rejected them.    However, Bengalis have fallen in trap of bjp and facing touble now.    Hope people of Bengal will come to know reality of bjp and peace will prevail there.

Dubai, Mar 18: Emirates, one of the world's biggest international airlines, has asked pilots to take unpaid leave to help it mitigate the impact of the coronavirus pandemic that has shattered demand for global travel.

"To this end you are strongly encouraged to make use of this opportunity to volunteer for additional paid and unpaid leave," the airline said in an internal email to pilots, seen by Reuters.

Emirates earlier this month asked some staff to take unpaid leave, although at that time it was not available to pilots.
