One of them is still missing. Several other Journists from different News Channel were held by Police and CPI(M) activists and debard from moving to Nandigram.

State police chief A B Vohra said 25 people were arrested and eight improvised arms, including pipeguns and ammunition, were seized from Nandigram where patrolling by police has been intensified.

Addressing a hurriedly called press conference following fresh violence in Nandigram, Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee claimed that over 20 bodies were found in Nandigram and more than 200 people received bullet injuries in police firing at the trouble spot in East Mindapore district.”We are compelled to declare a 12-hour general strike on Friday because of the massacre and bloodshed there. It is state sponsored terrorism,” Banerjee told a packed news conference at her Kalighat residence.
“We know that the Higher Secondary, ICSE and CBSE exams are on. But it is the chief minister who has to take responsibility,” she said. “The chief minister has unleashed terror in Nandigram to grab land,” Banerjee alleged.She demanded that Centre must sack the Buddhadeb government in the larger interest of farmers and people.”The chief minister has disgraced the chair he is occupying. If any government resorts to state sponsored terrorism, it must be sacked,” she said. She said leaders of Krishijami Raksha Committee would rush to Nandigram later in the day.
