( n body. Other city-based psych...)Nandigram Killings Lead to Depression Among Many,Health

n body.

Other city-based psychologists have the same view.

"Common people feel stressed after seeing the incident on television. Many cases of psychological disorders have been due to reactions after watching the news," said psychologist Priyanka Bhattacharya.

"But unfortunately, most people in West Bengal are not aware of the need for psychological counselling. I am sure people living in Nandigram must be suffering from serious stress. But they are unable to get proper psychological treatment there," Bhattacharya said.

According to her, the policemen who were sent March 14 to quell the angry villagers protesting against farmland takeover for industry were also victims of stress and trauma.

"It's the police who carried out the orders of the government. Perhaps they had fired on the villagers going against their own conscience," she said.

West Bengal Inspector General of Police (Law and Order) Raj Kanojia, however, has a different story to tell on the stress factor among policemen deployed at Nandigram.

"This kind of situation definitely leads to stress among police personnel. But we train our officials by teaching them behavioural science and make them physically as well as mentally fit to tackle any situation," Kanojia told IANS.

"At any point of time policemen are fit enough to handle such pressures," he said.
