The State Congress has planned to take this photo-exhibition to Delhi and other State capiof the country. The photographs show the injured, the dead, police firing at the villagers and the CPI(M) cadres on rampage in Nandigram.

“The photo-exhibition is going to give the details of how the CPI(M) and the police went about to attack and kill the innocenmt villagers of Nandigram.
