Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Thursday said she will visit Sandeshkhali in North 24 Parganas district on December 30 to chair a public distribution programme.

“I will visit Sandeshkhali on December 30 to chair a public distribution programme. People had asked me before the polls if I would visit Sandeshkhali or not. I had told them that I would be going later,” she told mediapersons at Nabanna, after convening a cabinet meeting. “It will be a government programme. We completed pending programmes under ‘Lakshmir Bhandar’, ‘Banglar Bari’… Around 20,000 beneficiaries in the area will benefit from state-run schemes…,” she said.
