Terror continues across the state ahead of the upcoming three-tier panchayat elections. Attacks are being carried out on Congress party workers and supporters in places. The party office of the opposition party is being vandalized. 

Congress leader Gauri Biswas was threatened in Dharmanagar after the panchayat elections has been announced. He filed a case at the police station. Then on Friday his house was attacked. 

Congress party office has been vandalized in Bishalgarh. A Congress worker's house was set on fire in Bishalgarh at the behest of the MLA of the area. Firefighters were not allowed to go to the spot. Congress party candidates are being threatened.
