Cattle smuggling
In the 2013 panchayat elections, the Left Front snatched the Swarupnagar Panchayat Samiti, under control of the Trinamool Congress for the previous two terms. The Left also won 7 of the 10 gram panchayats in Swarupnagar CD Block. Apart from other reasons, one major factor, according to media sources, was the links of the local Trinamool Congress activists with cattle smugglers. A large section of the population in this impoverished border region is involved in cattle smuggling. The cattle smugglers are deeply rooted in local society. They not only pay for the services they demand, but they also attack the villagers, burn their houses and molest the women when their orders are not followed. No one dares to stand up to the cattle smugglers, but the local people can vote in elections and vent their feelings. According to estimates of the villagers, more than 5,000-6,000 cows were smuggled every week through the Amudia border under Swarupnagar PS. However, with improved vigil and political support from the West Bengal chief minister, cattle smuggling has decreased considerably.
