West Bengal CM Mamata to hold virtual meet with TMC MPs on Aug 4 amid Parliament logjam over SIR
KOLKATA: West Bengal Chief Minister and the Trinamool Congress Chairperson, Mamata Banerjee, is scheduled to hold an important virtual meeting with her partys Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha MPs on August 4. The meeting assumes political significance for several reasons, as it coincides with the ongoing monsoon session of the Parliament. Since the beginning of the monsoon session on July 21, the Trinamool Congress has been particularly vocal about the Election Commission of Indias Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise, both inside and outside of the Parliament. A section of the Opposition parties considers the SIR process as a conspiracy to exclude names of Opposition voters from the voter lists. Centre eyes sports bill passage as Parliament stalls over SIR discussion demand In Monday's meeting, Banerjee is expected to give instructions to her party MPs to intensify protests in the Parliament over the issue. According to sources, the attack on Bengali-speaking people from West Bengal in various States will also be discussed in the meeting. The Trinamool Congress has raised its voice against the BJP-led Central Government on this issue, especially after allegations of atrocities on Bengali migrant workers came to light in several areas in North India. Didi may advise how to raise these issues in Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha as well outside of the Parliament in the meeting, a Trinamool Congress insider said. Discussions related to floor coordination with the anti-BJP political parties in the Parliament are also likely to get prominence in the virtual meet. The Trinamool Congress believes that it is impossible to put pressure on the Centre on an important issue like SIR in Parliament if the Opposition is not united. Opposition politicising Bihar SIR for gains, says Union minister Rajiv Ranjan Singh Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has already raised the issue in the Lok Sabha, and on August 2, Bihar's opposition leader Tejashwi Yadav alleged that his own name has been left out of the voter lists . However, a different explanation has been given by the ECI. Political observers believe that the SIR issue is likely to create an uproar in the Parliament next week. Besides, Banerjees meeting with the Trinamool Congress MPs may also discuss the incident that took place in the Rajya Sabha last Friday. Several MPs from the Trinamool Congress, AAP and DMK were escorted out of the Rajya Sabha by the marshal, allegedly. The Trinamool Congress is alleging that the Central Government has an authoritarian attitude behind this incident. According to the Trinamool Congress sources, the party wants to use this session of the Parliament to build public opinion against the Centre. In addition, on Banerjees advice, the opposition is also going to gherao the ECI office in Delhi on Friday, August 8. The partners of the Opposition alliance India are also going to meet in the national capital on August 7. The Trinamool Congress National General Secretary Abhishek Banerjee will also attend the meeting, according to sources close to him. House logjam over SIR continues

Teesta, Jaldhaka rivers in spate as heavy rains lash north Bengal
KOLKATA / JALPAIGURI: Rivers in northern West Bengal, including the Teesta and Jaldhaka, are in a spate owing to incessant rain that inundated low-lying areas and affected road connectivity to Sikkim and Kalimpong, even as the Met forecast very heavy downpour in the region. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) said that very heavy rain with isolated extremely heavy downpour is likely to occur in the sub-Himalayan districts of the state till Tuesday morning. A landslide at Tarkhola owing to overnight heavy rain has severely affected vehicular movement on the arterial National Highway 10 connecting Sikkim with Siliguri, an official said. While smaller vehicles have been diverted via alternative roads, the movement of heavy vehicles has been temporarily suspended owing to the landslide, he said. A 'yellow warning' (be aware) has been declared at Domohani and Mekhliganj in the vicinity of River Teesta and near National Highway 31, where Jaldhaka flows along it, according to the flood control room at Jalpaiguri city, where incessant rainfall inundated several low-lying areas. Maintaining that heavy rain in Bhutan over the last few days has led to an increased water flow in Jaldhaka River that passes through the Himalayan kingdom and north Bengal, the official said that some areas in Dhupguri block of Jalpaiguri have been flooded. Jalpaiguri received the state's highest rainfall in 24 hours till 8.30 am on Sunday at 159 mm, followed by 152 mm in neighbouring Alipurduar, the IMD data said. Cooch Behar received 93 mm rainfall, while Bagdogra got 75 mm rain during the period, it said. The IMD said that light to moderate rain is likely to occur in all south Bengal districts, including Kolkata, till Tuesday morning.
'Will our daughter get justice?': RG Kar victim's parents wait in pain year after incident
KOLKATA: Nearly a year after a young woman doctor was raped and murdered inside a locked seminar room at Kolkata's RG Kar Medical College , her grieving parents, whose wounds have only deepened with time, await justice. Her father said that their only hope is in the judiciary now. We have lost all faith in the police and the CBI. For reasons best known to them, the CBI appears compromised, either politically or otherwise. They are just parroting what the Kolkata Police had said, her father told PTI. On August 9 last year, the 26-year-old postgraduate trainee's body was discovered inside the Chest Medicine Department's seminar hall on the fourth floor of the hospital's emergency building. The nature of her injuries, which indicated brutality, and the fact that it happened within a state-run hospital, sent shock waves across West Bengal and beyond. Widespread protests erupted across campuses, drawing students, doctors, and civil society to the streets. But a year later, the family says, justice remains elusive. It wasn't just a murder. It was a message that even the brightest women aren't safe, not even inside a hospital, the woman's father said. A civic volunteer, Sanjay Roy, was arrested and sentenced to life for rape and murder. But the victim's family and several rights activists insist the case is far from closed. From day one, we have said there was more than one person. She was a strong girl. There is no way only one man could have done this inside such a secure building. All the early cover-ups point to a bigger nexus, her mother said. Her father alleged that attempts were made to destroy evidence. There were three bodies at the crematorium that day. Yet our daughter's body was cremated first. Why the hurry? Steps were taken to wipe out evidence, he alleged. Two other arrests followed , Sandip Ghosh, the then principal of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, and Abhijit Mondal, former officer-in-charge of Tala police station, on charges of misleading the probe. But Mondal was released on bail after the CBI failed to file a charge sheet within 90 days. We were foolish to trust the CBI. They repeated what the Kolkata Police fed them. No new names, no new arrests, no answers, the woman's father said bitterly. That alone tells you how seriously the CBI is taking this. They couldn't even file the charge sheet on time. Now they claim they are probing a 'larger conspiracy'. But we doubt they will ever file a supplementary charge sheet, he said. The family also points to the Supreme Court's observation, which raised questions about the handling of the case. Those questions still remain unanswered. All they (CBI) say is, 'investigation is ongoing'. That's not enough, he said. His wife added, We are ordinary people, but not fools. Our daughter was raped and murdered in a room that's supposed to be locked inside a government hospital. How does that happen without protection from powerful people? What we got wasn't justice, it was a charade, it was a mockery of justice, father said. What pains the parents more than the crime is the slow erosion of truth. They say they are probing a larger conspiracy. But what conspiracy takes a whole year to even file a supplementary charge sheet? the father asked. They will drag this for ten, twenty years, until we are dead and gone. That's their strategy. Exhaust the parents. Exhaust the people who are seeking justice, he said. BJP leader seeks police investigation in Kolkata gang rape case, says CBI probe in RG Kar case was flawed Lashing out at the ruling Trinamool Congress, he cited the recent Kasba Law College gang rape case. All three arrested have links with the ruling party. Incidents like these are happening again and again. Even after the outcry over my daughter's death, nothing has changed. That tells you how little this government cares. The accused must be severely punished, he said. What makes our tragedy unbearable is that my daughter wanted to serve the poor. Her dreams now lie locked inside a wooden trunk, her stethoscope, half-written thesis notes, and medals from the medical school, he said. She wanted to open a clinic for the poor people. She just wanted to heal others, the victim's father said. We lost our only daughter. She was all we had. Now we just want justice before we die. But we'll keep fighting till the end, he said. The street protests that once shook the city have dwindled. Social media has moved on. Even political leaders who had once marched with candles and posters have fallen silent. The state used our daughter's death like a talking point, the father said. Now, as the cameras have gone, so have they. But people from all walks of life stood with us. And the people's movement will rise again, he said. Two public events are scheduled on August 9 to mark the first anniversary of the incident. Protesters are expected to march to Kalighat area, where Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee resides. 'Abhaya Mancha', a forum formed in the wake of the incident, will observe Raksha Bandhan that day. On August 14, it plans a 'Reclaim the Night' march across Kolkata and the suburbs from 9 pm to midnight. When asked what justice would mean to them, he said, Justice means truth, naming everyone who was involved directly or indirectly. It means jail, not bail. And restoring the dignity they tried so hard to erase. I do not seek revenge. I ask for the truth before I die. Our only hope is the judiciary. e are confident it won't let us down, he added.

Five-month-old drowns in waterlogged home in Kolkata, locals blame civic apathy
KOLKATA: In a tragic incident, a five-month-old girl, Rishika Ghoroi, died after falling from a bed into stagnant water inside her waterlogged home at Birati near the Kolkata airport. The incident took place on Saturday morning in the Debinagar area of Ward No. 13 of the North Dum Dum Municipality. According to local sources, the mother of the baby had left the room after putting the child to sleep on the bed. Locals said that the child somehow fell from the bed into the water while sleeping. The baby girl was rescued from the water and was first taken to North Dum Dum Municipal Hospital. Later, she was taken to Dr B C Roy Post Graduate Institute of Paediatric Sciences at Phoolbagan in Kolkata. There, the doctors declared her dead. Her body has been sent for autopsy. Even though there has been little rain in the last two days, the entire area has allegedly remained waterlogged for more than two weeks, locals said. Water had also entered the victims home. North Dum Dum is traditionally a low-lying area, and local residents suffer from waterlogging during the monsoon every year. In the last few years, the North Dum Dum Municipality has made several plans to solve that problem. As part of that plan, work on six projects has also started. The municipal authorities hope that once that work is completed, the waterlogging problem will be largely under control. However, according to a section of local residents, several drainage canals in the area need to be renovated and also desilted. Recently, the municipality and the irrigation department jointly inspected those drainage canals. After this, a decision was taken to renovate them. Work has started accordingly, according to municipal sources. The North Dum Dum Municipal Authorities claim that there is a problem of waterlogging in about 19 wards, out of which the problem has reduced to some extent in a few places. If the six projects are implemented in phases, the problem will be completely solved, the authorities claim. However, locals said that an underground drainage system is needed in the area to solve this problem.

Opposition politicising Bihar SIR for gains, says Union minister Rajiv Ranjan Singh
KOLKATA: Union Minister of Fisheries and Animal Husbandry Rajiv Ranjan Singh on Saturday alleged that opposition parties are politicising the SIR (Special Intensive Revision) issue for their benefits, while maintaining that this exercise is being conducted by the Election Commission of India (ECI), not the Centre. He also dismissed the Trinamool Congress and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjees allegations that Bengali-speaking people from Bengal are being harassed and tortured in various BJP-ruled states. After a meeting with the officials from West Bengal, Jharkhand, Bihar and Chattisgarh at Kolkata, Singh said, The Centre has not initiated the SIR of electoral rolls. It is being carried out by the Election Commission of India. Replying to questions from the media, he said, The ECI is only verifying who are the genuine citizens of this country. Don't you think that people who have died or left the country should be removed from the voter list? Unfortunately, some opposition parties seem to be interested in having the names of the dead in the voter list. He also accused some opposition parties for unnecessarily criticizing the SIR exercise. RJD leader Tejaswi Yadav on Saturday alleged that his name is excluded in the voter lists in Bihar. Replying to a question on this allegation, Singh said, Was Tejaswi born after 2003? Then he has to submit forms. Did he do that? Tejaswi is doing politics, he alleged. The Trinamool Congress and its chairperson Mamata Banerjee have been alleging that Bengali-speaking migrant workers are being harassed and tortured in various BJP-ruled states. Refuting the allegations, Singh said, No such incident has taken place. Bengali-speaking citizens residing in other states can decide whether to be enrolled in their native place or their place of work. Once their documents are verified, they are allowed to go. There is no ill treatment. He claimed that the verification process is a part of efforts to identify Bangladeshis, who are living illegally in India and also managed to get fake Aadhaar cards. It is a threat to our national security. Dont you (the Trinamool Congress Government in West Bengal) want to ensure national security? He added.

ECI directs SIR rollout in West Bengal after contentious Bihar exercise
KOLKATA: The Election Commission of India (ECI) on Thursday directed West Bengals Chief Electoral Officer (CEO), Manoj Agarwal, to immediately begin preparations for a Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in the state, which heads to polls next year. This comes against the backdrop of a month-long SIR exercise in Bihar ahead of upcoming elections, which has drawn criticism from opposition parties alleging it will lead to mass exclusion of voters and is intended to enefit the ruling NDA government. Following the ECIs directive, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee held a meeting with all district magistrates at Nabanna, the states administrative headquarters. Senior bureaucrats of the West Bengal government also attended the meeting. In a written communication to Agarwal, the ECI asked him to appoint booth-level officers (BLOs) and supervisory booth-level officers, and to submit a list of their names to the Commission. The poll body clarified that only permanent government employees may be appointed as BLOs. It also directed the CEO to provide a list of booth-level agents (BLAs) representing various political parties. The CEO is expected to write to the parties on Friday, requesting the names of their BLAs. The BLOs and BLAs will visit every voters residence and explain what SIR is, why it is important and how it should be carried out. If the BLOs fail to fulfil their duties and responsibilities properly, the BLAs will bring the matter to the notice of the ECI, a source in the state CEO office told TNIE .

Mamata raises Durga Puja grant to Rs 1.10 lakh, BJP alleges move to woo clubs ahead of polls
KOLKATA: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Thursday announced an increase in the Durga Puja grant to 1.10 lakh for 40,000 Puja organising committees this year. In addition, the Puja organisers will receive an 80 percent concession on electricity charges. Last year, the state government provided 85,000 as a grant to Puja committees. At the time, the Chief Minister had declared that this year a grant of 1 lakh would be given to each committee. However, she eventually announced an additional 10,000, which the opposition BJP has alleged is an attempt at buying favour from thousands of local clubs ahead of the 2026 Assembly elections in West Bengal. Addressing a coordination meeting of Puja committees at the Netaji Indoor Stadium in Kolkata, Banerjee said, Durga Puja is not just a religious celebration. It is the lifeline of Bengal's cultural identity. Our praner utsab (festival of the heart). We are proud that UNESCO has recognised it as intangible heritage. Along with the increased grant and 80 percent concession on electricity bills, the Puja committees will receive a complete waiver of all state government fees, including fire licence charges, and an exemption from taxes imposed by civic agencies, the Chief Minister announced. Starting with 10,000 in 2018, the grant increased to 25,000 in 2019. During the Covid period, it was raised to 50,000. In 2022 and 2023, the state government provided grants of 60,000 and 70,000 respectively. Last year, it was increased to 85,000. The number of Puja committees receiving grants has also increased in the meantime. Banerjee also announced that this years Durga Puja Carnival will be held on 5 October, with immersions scheduled between 2 and 4 October. Taking a dig at the Chief Minister, Leader of the Opposition in the West Bengal Assembly Suvendu Adhikari said, Why 1.10 lakh? Give 2.10 lakh. It doesnt help (in the Assembly elections). First, give the due DAs to the state government employees. Then fill 6 lakh vacant posts in the state government. He also alleged that in the coming days, the monthly allowance of Imams and Muazzems would be increased by 500.

Bangladeshi model-actress held in Kolkata with Indian documents
KOLKATA: A Bangladeshi model-actress, Shanta Pal, was arrested in Kolkata after Indian voter ID, PAN card, and Aadhaar card were recovered from her rented flat in Bikramgarh. Following a written complaint filed in the Park Street police station, sleuths searched the flat and recovered the documents. This arrest assumes significance, especially when various states have launched a drive to identify and detain the Bangladeshi people, who have been living in India illegally. Following detention, many of them have also been pushed back to Bangladesh by the BSF. West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, however, blamed the Centre for their illegal entry into India and alleged that Bengali migrant workers have been harassed and tortured in various BJP-ruled states for speaking in Bengali. According to Kolkata Police officials, an Aadhaar card was issued in Shanta Pals name in 2020 using an address in Burdwan. During the search, police also recovered a Bangladeshi passport, a Bangladesh Airways employee ID card and an admit card for Bangladeshs secondary school examination. She is being interrogated to find out how, being a Bangladeshi citizen she managed to get Aadhaar, PAN and voter cards and from where. Who helped her to get all these documents. Her various social media posts are also being investigated, a police official said on Thursday. She won the Miss Asia Global Bangladesh beauty pageant title, organised by an organisation in Bangladesh. A few days ago, the model-actress also filed a complaint of fraud at the Thakurpukur police station. It is learnt that Shanta was born in 1998. Her parents lived with her in the Bikramgarh flat. They are also being investigated by the police. Shantas husband is a resident of Andhra Pradesh. The investigators have been trying to ascertain how Shanta came in contact with him before marriage.

PORT BLAIR: The Enforcement Directorate on Thursday conducted its first-ever searches in Andaman and Nicobar Islands as part of a money laundering case probe linked to an alleged cooperative bank loan 'fraud' involving a former MP from the Union Territory, official sources said. The case pertains to the Andaman Nicobar State Cooperative Bank (ANSCB) and its vice chairman Kuldeep Rai Sharma. Sharma, a 57-year-old Congress leader, is a former MP of the UT (2019-24). Nine places in and around Port Blair and two in Kolkata were raided by the officials of the central probe agency under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), the sources said.

Piprahwa relics of Lord Buddha return to India after 127 years
NEW DELHI: The sacred Piprahwa relics of Lord Buddha have returned to India after 127 years. The holy remains were discovered from Piprahwa village in Uttar Pradesh in 1898. The repatriation of the rare remnants was announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday. He said that it was a joyous day for our cultural heritage. It would make every Indian proud that the sacred Piprahwa relics of Bhagwan Buddha have come home after 127 long years. These sacred relics highlight Indias close association with Bhagwan Buddha and his noble teachings. It also illustrates our commitment to preserving and protecting different aspects of our glorious culture. #VikasBhiVirasatBhi, he posted on X. The relics were allegedly placed in an auction scheduled in Hong Kong in May. However, the Ministry of Culture took strong diplomatic and legal measures to stop the sale. It also issued a legal notice to Sothebysa leading multinational auction housedemanding the immediate withdrawal of the auction. It may be recalled that the Piprahwa relics were discovered in 1898 but were taken away from India during the colonial period. When they appeared in an international auction earlier this year, we worked to ensure they returned home. I appreciate all those who have been involved in this effort, Modi also said. The Piprahwa relics, discovered by British civil engineer William Claxton Pepp in Piprahwa, Uttar Pradesh, are believed to be associated with the mortal remains of Lord Buddha. Enshrined by his followers around the 3rd century BCE, these relics have long held immense spiritual value for the global Buddhist community and represent one of the most important archaeological discoveries in Indias history. The majority of these relics were transferred to the Indian Museum in Kolkata in 1899. However, a portion of the relics retained by the Pepp family was taken out of the country and was listed for auction. Reacting to the development, Union Minister of Culture Gajendra Singh Shekhawat termed the homecoming of the Piprahwa relics a matter of great pride for every Indian. This is one of the most significant instances of repatriation of our lost heritage and would not have been possible without the vision and initiative of our Prime Minister Narendra Modi, he said. Officials said that the sacred Piprahwa relics would be formally unveiled during a special ceremony and placed on public display, allowing citizens and global visitors to pay homage and witness these rare artefacts. This successful repatriation sets a benchmark in cultural diplomacy and collaboration, showcasing how strategic partnerships between public institutions and private enterprise can protect and preserve global heritage, said the ministry. This was achieved through a unique public-private partnership between the Ministry of Culture and Godrej Industries Group. Executive Vice Chairperson of Godrej Industries Group Pirojsha Godrej, whose sense of citizen responsibility and cultural stewardship shone through, partnered with the ministry in securing the relics and ensuring their return to India, said Shekhawat. On the occasion, Godrej remarked, We are deeply honoured to contribute to this historic moment. The Piprahwa gems are not just artefactsthey are timeless symbols of peace, compassion, and the shared heritage of humanity. Our partnership with the Government of India reflects our deep commitment to preserving cultural legacies for future generations.
Flu cases surge across Kolkata as entire families get infected
Around 33km from Kolkata is Achipur where a red tomb lies. It is the occupier of the grave that gave the locale its name. Tong Atchew, said to be from the Hakka community, was the first Chinese person to land on the Indian shores in the 18th century. Soon many joined him to work on the sugar plantations that he set up there. The community thrived, sprouting a culture that combined the charm of Chinese life with the vibrancy of Bengal. The careful sublimity of this marriage is still seen in two Kolkata localities the Tiretti Bazaar and Tangra. The food from here, which spread to the entire country, is what is now known as Chinese cuisine in India. Now, the Tangra food festival at The Leela Kovalam, A Raviz Hotel, is recreating this splendour in Thiruvananthapuram. The food festival features 25 dishes the delicacies of Indo-Chinese cuisine curated by Chef Rakesh and his team. Our tasting session began with the veg Manchow soup sweet and tangy, with rich, silky texture reminding us of the intuitiveness of Chinese ways. There was also a burst of Indian spices, giving the dish a unique peppiness. The crispy noodle added to the chicken variant gave it more of this tinkle. The dishes in the festival menu have ample options for vegetarians too. Its 50-50 here. Almost every dish in the menu has a vegetarian variant, says Sarath Madathil, deputy general manager, marketing and special projects of The Leela Raviz. Starters soon followed the soup, in an endless trail. Baby corn dipped in Schezwan sauce, Tangra-style lollipops aptly named Drums of Heaven, Veg Manchurian, and Chicken Suimai (the dish stands almost needle-like) occupy the prime spot in this chart. But what took the cake is the king of dimsums the Crystal Dimsum with potato starch as the wrap, rendering the outer coating translucent. Glass skin rules in Oriental cuisine too! Another attraction is the array of dips and sauces. The quintessential soya, tomato-garlic, and onion-garlic sauce aside, the spread has quite a scintillating storm packed in the chilli-coriander sauce, with a chewy yet crunchy splurt of lingering flavour. The Lao Gan Ma sauce, made with chilli, garlic and black beans, then slow-cooked and ravishingly flaunted, is also a formidable presence. Chilli and garlic form the core of Tangra cuisine. The Schezwan noodles came with a layered taste of garlic, onion, chilli, and were cloaked in a tangy sweetness. The fried rice and its veg variant also bore the savouring fragrance of chilli and garlic. The prime spot is reserved for Lao Gan Ma fried rice. The star was, of course, the Schezwan Hakka noodles, which packed the culinary history of the Hakka community. Originally made of rice and potato starch, in India, it transformed into a wheat or maida variant, doing justice to the tag of Indo-Chinese. Another spectacle is the cluster of vegetables tossed in the legendary Chinese wok in garlic sauce. The zucchini, broccoli, and mushrooms seemed pampered enough to create a tsunami of gastronomical ecstasy. The desserts section at the festival is a medley of flavours from panna cottas, to matcha cream brulee, kafir lime yoghurt, tiramisu, green tea cheese cakes, and chia puddings. The highlight, though, is the live station where Chinatown and Tangra Wok-tossed delicacies, momos and dumplings are freshly dished out. Arranged at The Terrace, adorned with Chinese decor, the experience transports one to the time and tides that brought Atchew and his clan to India. The fest will conclude on August 3.
