Asansol. Police have taken swift action regarding the firing incident in the Dhemomain Colliery area. Seven accused have been arrested in this case. They were produced in the Asansol District Court.

According to BJP leader Birju Yadav, permission was sought to set up a fair on Rohit Nonia's land, which was denied. Afterward, obtaining an NOC from Dhemomain Colliery, it was decided to set up the fair in the pit area of the colliery based on permission. Birju Yadav alleged that over this issue, led by Rohit Nonia, around 9 rounds of firing were done on Tuesday night.

He alleged that to maintain Rohit Nonia's dominance, an environment of constant tension is maintained among common people throughout the Dhemomain area.
