Tag: Murshidabad violence

The recent communal violence in the Muslim-majority district of Murshidabad, triggered by protests against the Waqf (Amendment) Act 2025, has led to the displacement of hundreds of people, many of whom have sought refuge across the Bhagirathi River in the neighboring district of Malda. The protests, which began as demonstrations against the newly passed Act, quickly escalated into violent clashes, leaving at least three people dead and several others injured.
