Kolkata, Apr 2 (IBNS): Several people were injured when activists of ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) and Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) engaged in a clash with each other at Kona area in Kolkata's twin city Howrah on Sunday, reports said.

According to reports, when an election of local Kona-Chamrail-Jagadishpur Cooperative Bank's credit society was underway, supporters of CPI-M and TMC engaged in a skirmish and had started throwing bricks aiming at each other.

Few shops were ransacked at the area when several motorcycles were vandalized thrown into ponds.

Later, alleging that TMC-sheltered miscreants had attacked local villagers on Sunday and charged crude bombs at the area since Saturday night, CPI-M activists and residents of the area blocked a road nearby.

A heavy police force was deployed there from Liluah Police Station nearby to bring the situation under control.

Local TMC leaders claimed that they were not involved in the clash.
