In her letter, dated August 30, Banerjee emphasised the gravity of the situation and urged for prompt central intervention, highlighting the inadequacy of the reply received from the Union Minister of <keyword id="20086338" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Women-and-Child-Development" source="keywords">Women and Child Development</keyword>. The letter reads, "No reply was received from your end on such a sensitive issue. However, a reply has been received from the Minister of Women and Child Development, Government of India (vide their No. 1/RESC/HMWCD/2024 dated 25th August 2024), which barely addresses the gravity of the issue raised in my letter. I am of the view that the seriousness of the subject and its relevance to society have not been adequately appreciated in this generic reply." The letter was posted on her social media handle, X. In response to Union Minister Annapurna Devi's allegations regarding the state government's failure to implement essential safety measures for women and children, including Fast Track Special Courts (FTSCs), CM Mamata stated that the state government has approved 10 exclusive POCSO FTSCs, while 88 FTSCs and 62 POCSO-designated Courts are functioning with complete state funding. The letter mentioned, "Moreover, I would also refer to some of the initiatives in this area that our State has already undertaken, which appear to have been overlooked in the reply. Regarding Fast Track Special Courts (FTSCs), 10 exclusive POCSO Courts have been approved by the State Government. In addition to this, 88 FTSCs and 62 POCSO-designated Courts are functioning throughout the State with complete State funding. Monitoring and disposal of cases are entirely in the hands of the Courts." Highlighting the issue of appointing Presiding Officers in FTSCs, she further stated that this process requires examination and action from the Government of India, which, according to her, needs PM Modi's intervention. "As per Central Government guidelines, only retired Judicial Officers can be posted as Presiding Officers in FTSCs, but the Hon'ble High Court has observed that, in view of the severity of the cases, permanent Judicial Officers need to be appointed. This requires examination at the level of the Government of India and appropriate action thereafter, for which your intervention would be necessary. Moreover, Helpline Nos. 112 and 1098 are functioning satisfactorily in the State. Additionally, Dial 100 is also extensively used in emergency situations," the letter added. Urging for central <keyword id="20082569" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="legislation" source="keywords">legislation</keyword> and exemplary punishment for heinous crimes, the West Bengal CM expressed hope for very considered attention from PM Modi. Mamata Banerjee mentioned in her letter, "I would reiterate and earnestly request that a stringent Central legislation and exemplary punishment for heinous crimes of rape/rape and murder be considered, with a mandatory provision for the disposal of cases within a specific timeframe by the trial authorities. I hope this matter would receive very considered attention at your kind end in the interest of our society at large." On August 26, Union Women and Child Development Minister Annapurna Devi criticised the West Bengal government for its failure to implement essential safety measures for women and children in the state. In a letter written to West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee, the Union Minister stated that 123 Fast Track Special Courts (FTSCs) were allocated to the state, but none of them are functional yet. Earlier, on August 22, West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee wrote a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi urging the central government to bring in central legislation and set up fast-track courts for "sensitive" issues to ensure a speedy trial. Mamata, in the letter, mentioned that such "sensitive" issues need to be addressed comprehensively through stringent central legislation prescribing exemplary punishment against the perpetrators of such heinous crimes. The Bengal Chief Minister suggested the setting up of "fast-track special courts" to deal with such cases, which require a speedy trial. This development comes after the trainee doctor was found dead in the seminar hall of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata on August 9.

West Bengal Chief Minister <keyword id="43868" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="mamata-banerjee" source="Orion">Mamata Banerjee</keyword> on Monday announced the reopening of educational institutions in the state from November 16, after a gap of nearly 20 months. Banerjee, who is on a North Bengal tour, during an administrative meeting at Uttarkanya -- the state secretariat in Jalpaiguri district of North Bengal -- directed <keyword id="12385503" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Chief-Secretary-H-K-Diwedi" source="Orion">Chief Secretary H K Diwedi</keyword> to make the necessary arrangements. With this, the educational institutions that were closed due to the Corona pandemic will resume classes in the offline mode. Though Banerjee, also the Trinamool Congress chief, had earlier announced November 15 as the date, it was deferred by a day owing to Bisha Munda's birthday. The tribal leader's birthday on November 15 is treated as a special holiday in the state. "On November 4, there is Kali Puja, followed by <keyword id="12385504" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="bhatri-ditiya" source="Orion">Bhatri Ditiya</keyword>. After two days is Chhat puja while November 13 happens to be Jagadhatri Puja. So we can reopen the schools after these festivals from November 15," she said during the meeting. On October 5, the state finance department sanctioned Rs 109 crore to the education department for the renovation of 6,468 government schools, indicating the government's resolve to restart the schools after <keyword id="6357908" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="durga-puja" source="Orion">Durga Puja</keyword>. Earlier too in August, after her meeting with the Global advisory body chief, she had said that her government was mulling <keyword id="3387016" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="reopening-of-schools" source="Orion">reopening of schools</keyword> and colleges that have been shut since March due to the second wave of the coronavirus pandemic. The Chief Minister had said that educational institutes might reopen in West Bengal on alternate days after the Durga Puja vacation in November. Asked about the details of the schedule, an education department official said, "Though it has not yet been decided and the department is still working on the details, but so far, it has been decided that classes from IX onwards will start at the initial level along with the colleges and universities. "However, the department is likely to impose strict conditions to ensure the safety of children from the deadly virus."

West Bengal Chief Minister announces reopening of schools from November 16 after 20 months

West Bengal Chief Minister <keyword id="43868" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="mamata-banerjee" source="Orion">Mamata Banerjee</keyword> on Thursday launched scathing attack against the <keyword id="14666" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="bjp" source="Orion">BJP</keyword> over the <keyword id="13126" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="maharashtra" source="Orion">Maharashtra</keyword> political crisis and claimed that this is a deliberate ploy by the saffron camp to garner additional numbers in favour of its candidate for the forthcoming Presidential poll. "The Presidential poll is round the corner. The BJP has approximately 1,00,00 less votes. So, they have chosen this time to topple the Maharashtra government in an unethical manner and using money power," the Chief Minister said. Seeking justice for Uddhav Thackeray, <keyword id="6359280" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="mamata" source="Orion">Mamata</keyword> Banerjee said that the BJP is bulldozing democracy and the federal structure in the country. "They are bulldozing the opposition everywhere especially when there are protests against their undemocratic gesture. In Tripura they are not allowing the people to vote freely. In West Bengal, they are hounding us by letting loose the central agencies, the CBI, the ED and National Human Rights Commission," the Chief Minister said. She concluded with a latent caution to the BJP that some day the latter might be paid back in the same coin. "You will be out of power some day or the other. Then what will you do? So do not try to topple the government using money power. Someday you might also face the same situation," Mamata said. Meanwhile, her nephew and the Trinamool Congress national general secretary, Abhishek Banerjee mounted attack on <keyword id="6354915" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="assam" source="Orion">Assam</keyword> Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma and said that at a time when Assam was reeling under severe flood, the Chief Minister was busy hosting rebel MLAs from Maharashtra. Incidentally, his comments came at a time when his wife was facing the questioning by the ED officials relating to the coal smuggling case in West Bengal. "As ASSAM DROWNS,@BJP4AssamGovt is busy following orders from Delhi to play HOST to REBEL MLAs. I wish CM@himantabiswa cared more about the flood-affected victims and less about toppling the Maharashtra Govt. PRIORITIES are clear for a REMOTE CONTROLLED SUBSERVIENT Govt," Abhishek Banerjee said in a Twitter message on Friday. Incidentally on Friday morning, Trinamool Congress workers in Assam also registered protest demonstrations in front of the hotel in Guwahati where the rebel Shiv Sena legislators from Maharashtra are putting up.

He made this announcement while addressing the inaugural session of the Bengal Global Business Summit (BGBS)-2022, the annual event organised by the West Bengal government to showcase the state as an ideal investment destination. "We plan to make an investment to the tune of Rs 10,000 crore in West Bengal in the next few years. This investment will be mainly in sectors like under- sea cables, data centre and warehouses. This will provide direct and indirect employment to around 25,000 people. As we make these investments, we will bring in the state world class technology," Adani said. Speaking on the occasion, the Adani Group chairman and founder was all praises for West Bengal Chief Minister <keyword id="43868" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="mamata-banerjee" source="Orion">Mamata Banerjee</keyword>, especially on the point of ensuring the arrest of man-days lost in the state because of various factors. "I wholeheartedly thank the chief minister for inviting me to this summit. I am sure that Bengal will move ahead under her dynamic leadership," he said. Chief Minister <keyword id="20420" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="banerjee" source="Orion">Banerjee</keyword> reacted to an earlier statement made by state Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar where he stressed on strong Centre-state relationship to ensure economic development in the state by attracting new investment. "I want to tell the honourable Governor that we are all ready to cooperate with the <keyword id="6357801" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="union" source="Orion">Union</keyword> governor to ensure the economic development of the state and country. But I would also like to request the honourable government to take the matter with the Union government so that we receive central assistance. At the same time on behalf of the industrialists, they should not be disturbed," the Chief Minister said. Speaking on the occasion, Mamata Banerjee also tried to address the concern of the industrialists regarding the land-related issues. "We have a land policy in place. We have evolved a system where a potential investor applying for land will get to know about the land status within seven days from the day of application, she said. The chief minister also indirectly reacted to the Governor's earlier statement on "accommodating opposite views". "We might have some differences with other political parties. But we do not divide people on the basis of caste, religion and language," she said.
