Watchdogs now work for criminals
Kolkata police are facing difficulties in its nocturnal operations and the reason behind it is mans best friend dogs. According to Jawed Shamim,Joint Commissioner of Kolkata police,stray canines raise a hue and cry when police enter localities,which in turn alert the criminals. According to Shamim,this has become frequent and police have failed to nab miscreants on many occasions. Adding to it,the policemen are also chased by stray dogs. Last week a six-member-team of Kolkata police failed to arrest Bubai Bangali,an accused in the Marmoset theft case,after they were attacked by pet dogs of Bangali. A dealer in pet dogs,Bangali was alerted about the midnight visit of the police team when he heard the barks of the stray dogs. As an intelligent thief,he lost no time in unleashing the 12 dogs he had in his kennel. The law enforcers had to beat a retreat,unable to take on the coalition force of the canines.

Missing Chinese links
Those who believe that the Left Front government in West Bengal shares a special relation with the Chinese government were left baffled on September 29 when not a single Marxist leader was present at a function organised by the Chinese Consul General to commemorate 60 years of Chinese revolution. Chinese Consul General Mao Siwei,however,had an explanation. He said that since it was an official function so only the chief secretary of the state government and top military brass of the Eastern Command were invited. But still it was hard to believe the absence of Marxist leaders at the city hotel where the function was organised.

Gasping for smoke!
Stories of Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjees respiratory ailment that were doing the rounds for some time got some credence last week at the CPMs official function to mark the 60 years of Chinese revolution. During his 40-minute speech,Bhattacharjee,who spoke on the history of Chinese revolution and how it shaped the course of world history,was caught gasping for breath. The audience could clearly hear the chief ministers rasping,courtesy the microphone. The sounds made other comrades wince and the chief minister was supplied with three glasses of tea. At one point,Bhattacharjee even asked his comrades to stop. The minute the speech ended,he darted off the dias and lit a cigarette.

Mouth wide open
A section of the political and administrative circles here are raising the question on why DGP Bhupinder Singh was so prompt in divulging the admissions that Chhatradhar Mahato,leader of the Peoples Committee against Police Atrocities of Lalgarh,made to the police during interrogation. Strangely,the top police brass was not that kind to the media when they were asked about the disclosures made by people like Ghaffar Mollah or Rajkishore Modi,arrested in connection with the Vedic Vilage case. Journalists had to repeatedly ask them about the revelations but to no avail. In the case of Mahato,it was just the opposite Singh told everything to mediapersons who had gone to offer him Subho Bijoya greetings at the Writers.

Happy ending
RAILWAY Minister and Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee has shot off many letters to Home Minister P Chidambaram demanding action against the Left Front government in West Bengal. The latest,just before Dussehra,however stood apart. After a detailed account on how the Left had unleashed a bloodbath during the festival period in West Bengal,the firebrand leader ended on a rather sweet note,extending her Dussehra greetings to Chidambaram. At the end of the letter,the handwritten sentence read: Happy Dussehra to U.
