The road blockade by the residents of Domkal on Wednesday. Picture by Alamgir HossainThe anger of people over lack of food spilled on to the streets at Domkal in Murshidabad on Wednesday. Over 500 residents of ward 10 in Domkal blocked the Behrampore-Karimpur state highway at Kuthi on Wednesday morning to protest against allegedly insufficient supply of rations during the lockdown. We have been without work for almost a month and the last ration supply we got was over two weeks ago. “We have filed a complaint against local ration dealers and have asked the food supply department to launch an inquiry,” said SDO (Domkal), Sandip Ghosh.
