2 unusual facts about Nanoor massacre


Nanoor massacre

The Statesman in an editorial wrote, "The sole purpose in attacking the prime witness in the gruesome Nanoor massacre of July 2000 in which 11 Trinamul Congress supporters were slaughtered by armed CPI(M) cadres was to shield those responsible and abort their trial, by hook or by crook. The irony is that although five years have elapsed since the occurrence of the horrendous killings by the Marxists, the trial of their 79 accused comrades had not begun".

Nanoor is located in the south-eastern corner of the district which is an alluvial plain between Ajay River and Mayurakshi River.
