Taking stock of the current situation of the area that was hit by communal tension earlier this week, Tripathi held a meeting with police officers and the local administration.
“I had plans to visit Asansol and Raniganj two days earlier, but for certain reasons the visit did not materalise. I have come here with the message of peace. Peace should be paramount. I appeal to all the people belonging to all castes and communities to live in harmony,” Tripathi told reporters here.
The Governor said he has been briefed by senior administrative officials about how the unrest took place and the evasive measures taken up to keep the situation under control.
Meanwhile, a Congress delegation led by party’s state president Adhir Chowdhury was stopped by police from entering Asansol.
