The situation in Maheshtala under the Rabindranagar Police Station, where the clashes broke out on Wednesday, is now under control, the Diamond Harbour Police district said.
"Three cases have been registered in connection with the clashes and 29 people have been arrested so far," the police said on X.
The situation in the Rabindranagar Police Station area is now "completely under control", the police said in a social media post.
"Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita is in place to maintain peace in the area," it said.
The violence, which erupted over the setting up of a shop in Maheshtala in the South 24 Parganas district, quickly escalated, turning the area into a virtual battlefield.
