Nostalgia, romance, and a love of heritage alone cannot make the beloved trams of Kolkata sustainable. Simple science can. Transport Minister, are you with us still?
The recent resignations of its seniormost judges are among the most pointed institutional protests Pakistan has witnessed since the lawyers’ movement of the late 2000s.
Without a Congress revival, there can be no challenge to the BJP pan-nationally. Modi’s party is growing, and almost entirely at the cost of the Congress.
I really feel sorry to know that the Tram services in Kolkata is going to be stopped. I have my own nostalgia, as I was using the services extensively as student of The University of Calcutta, and as the Student of The Institute of Chartered Accountants in 60s. Tickets were affordable for very poor students like us. I wish sincerely that the State Govt introduce technical advancements to improve the services and retain it . It really is a common men’s transport, and a identifying symbol of Kolkata city life.
Unlike the RG Kar case where you called junior doctors stupid, here, your rage comes through.
This govt has no respect for anyone. They need to be ousted.
I am urging you as a Kolkata based correspondent to run a powerful series on the misdeeds of this govt. This has to be stop. Mamata and her coterie has to go. People of the state have the right to live a peaceful life. The longer mamata stays, the worse she will become.
