Ambassador pf Denmark to India, during his ride on Sunday
KOLKATA: Encouraged by the response and its potential to attract more tourists, West Bengal Transport Corporation (WBTC) plans to include former European settlements like the Dutch at Chinsurah and Portugese in Bandel in its European Settlements Boat Ride (ESBR) along the Hooghly. However, to cover the entire stretch it may add a few more hours to the trip or use a faster vessel to reduce the journey time.
Ambassador of Denmark to India, Freddy Svane took the ride on Sunday. Svane was surprised to see a packed vessel with enthusiastic riders eager to explore Danish and French history along the Hooghly. “European Settlements Boat Ride is a fantastic initiative. It is a part of the revitalization of the great history of Kolkata and West Bengal. It may be seen as a great step to re-look at European history in India,” said Svane.

Mamata Banerjee draws Ravana parallel to BJP rath | Kolkata News

Mamata Banerjee
MALDA/RAIGANJ: Chief minister Mamata Banerjee likened the BJP rath yatra in West Bengal to the chariot Ravana used to abduct Sita and warned people, saying one vote for BJP would turn Sonar Bangla into “Dangar Bangla (a riot-ridden state)”.
“If you press the BJP button, you are inviting riots in Bengal. If you want free rations and free healthcare to continue, vote for Trinamool,” Banerjee said at Uttar Dinajpur’s Raiganj on Wednesday.
The CM hit out at BJP while addressing rallies in Raiganj and in Malda district of north Bengal, where Trinamool faced a rout in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls. “BJP babus are holding rath yatras. I have all respect for rath yatra,” she said.
