Basanti in South 24 Paraganas district is seething with communal tensions and apprehension that violent altercations may take place between Hindus and Muslims is getting higher. To get the reality it is crucial to delve into a few pertinent facts.

Even if lion’s share is being managed by Nemai Saha, president of Harisabha Temple Committee, there is the need of more.
