Kolkata, April 20 In a sharp escalation of its standoff with the Centre, the West Bengal government on Monday threatened not to allow the Inter Ministerial Coordination Teams to move around in the state unless it had a clear idea about their needs or why they want to go for field visits.

Earlier, the Union Home Ministry said IMCTs have been formed to make on-spot assessment of the Covid-19 situation in selected districts including a few in Bengal.

"Till we have a clear idea about what the team needs or why they want to go (to the field) we won't allow them to move around," Chief Secretary Rajiva Sinha said.
