A tale of two institutions
Having studied, in the sixties, at two of Bengal’s iconic institutions, and having observed the paths these have traversed, some thoughts crossed my mind for consideration of the new government.
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee today inaugurated a helipad at Dumurjala in Howrah district.
Inaugurating the helipad, Banerjee said 26 government helipads have been constructed across the state at district headquarters and other important locations.
