Kolkata: On Monday, West Bengal Governor C V Ananda Bose claimed that violence in the state is "a reality and not fiction" and that he is working to curb it ahead of the next rural elections. He explained that the 'Peace Room' at the Raj Bhavan was established so that Bengali citizens could cast their votes without fear of reprisal.
