The article describes extortion and illegal construction, indicating potential abuse of power and harm to citizens.
The TMC's "syndicate" system, which originated under the Left and expanded under the current regime, is facing challenges at grassroots level. In Sonarpur, auto drivers are no longer paying extortion money demanded by local leaders, while in Beleghata, Kolkata, buildings that were illegally constructed are being demolished. In Jamalpur, a sand mining syndicate led by Tabarak Ali Mondol, an INTTUC president, was uncovered and arrested. The BJP government is taking action against these illegal activities, with residents reporting fewer instances of intimidation and more willingness to report wrongdoing.
