A tryst with 'little Europe' on heritage boat ride | Kolkata News

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.

Kolkata: The cost of petrol in the city and other parts of the West Bengal crossed the Rs 90 mark yesterday.
The rise in petrol cost will lead to a major increase in cost of living of middle-class families. Barun Dewanji, a sales executive told the Times of India, “I had a 30% salary cut during the lockdown. In the last two months, my fuel cost has doubled even though I have been travelling the same distance every day.”

Sign up for a day cruise along the Hooghly from Kolkata to two former European settlements along the river

The Bhagirathi-Hooghly River, as the Ganga is known along its final stretch to the sea, is one of the most interesting waterways of India. Stretched along its banks (roughly between Kolkata and Murshidabad) are remains of former European settlements. Hence, this stretch of the river is also known as ‘Europe on the Ganga’. Travelling northwards from Kolkata (British), there is Srirampur (Danes), Chandannagar (French), Bandel (Portuguese) and Chinsurah (Dutch), and Murshidabad. Although the settlements are now part of history, you may still enjoy a glimpse into the past through surviving buildings and cultures.
