The state government will hold “Business & Industry Conclave” at the Dhono Dhanyo Auditorium in Kolkata on Thursday. The conclave follows a traders’ meeting on Wednesday in which Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said, despite good work done by her TMC government, a section of people was trying to defame her and her party. She asserted that the state has emerged as the commercial capital of eastern and northeastern India, driven by strong MSME-led growth and its strategic geographic location.
The monthly session of the Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC) will be held on Thursday at 2 pm. Mayor Firhad Hakim, the Mayoral Council, along with ruling and opposition councillors, will be taking part in the session.
In July, the civic body had made it mandatory for its councillors to speak in Bengali during monthly meetings.
Earlier in March, the KMC renamed its “Bustee (slum) Services department” to “Uttaran Services department” following Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s suggestion. The decision, aimed at moving away from the perceived negativity associated with the word “Basti,” received final approval during the KMC’s monthly meeting on March 22.
