We will remember you Jyoti Da


We will remember you Jyoti Da
We will remember you Jyoti Da for rising from being the third son of one Dr Nisikanata Basu to the 21st Chief Minister of West Bengal.
We will remember you Jyoti Da for getting elected to the West Bengal Legislative Assembly a record 13 times after Independence.
We will remember you Jyoti Da for being the longest serving Chief Minister of a state in India- 23 years- from 1977 to 2000
We will remember you Jyoti Da for undertaking one of the most successful rural land reforms movement in India- Operation Barga.
But we will also remember you Jyoti Da for transforming Calcutta- a hub of intellectual and industrial activity into Kolkata- a stagnant economic and professional hub.

Bandh in Bengal, impact on me, gain for Railways !!


Recently I had to go to Mumbai for an official training along with 3 other friends of Eastern Region. It’s a long journey by train to Mumbai, so we thought to book our tickets from a place which would be convenient for the four of us. Therefore we decided to book our tickets from Patna, the date of departure was 18th.
