I usually avoid talking about any work that we do for fellow citizens. Firstly to avoid boastfulness & secondly we are not doing anything. Its only God (Iswara) who gives us opportunity to do something
But this time, I am writing & that's mainly to increase awareness. #sundarban
Sundarban area in Ganga delta consists of 100+ islands formed by innumerable creeks and tributaries of Ganga-Bidyadhari-Matla-Noni-Ichamoti-Raigmangal rivers.
Out of 54 inhabited islands, we could reach out to only 2-HerambaGopalpur & Moipit
Mathurapur-2 block, South 24 pargana
With our limited resources, we could provide to each of 300 families
-4 kg rice
-1 kg dal
-400 gm mustard oil
-2 kg potato
-Packet of Soybean
- 500 g chicken
Too little when the islands have population of 10,000+
Queue was always way much more than we could arrange
2019 -Bulbul
2020-Amphan
2021-Yash
Every year high tide of 20-25 feet has left behind thick deposit of salt on paddy fields leaving them uncultivable.
Fully constructed brick walled houses are unlivable now. Its massive devastation, wherever you set your eyes on
20 feet high embankments just collapse when water gushes with such huge force
Here is one embankment breaking & water rushing in, inundating fields, that happened in front of our own eyes
Keumuri Village, Herambagopalpur, Mathurapur-2 block
Patharpratima Bidhansabha
Salt resistant paddy seeds were given by Govt last year but productivity of those are less.
People survived through wages received from MNREGA
and Rural road & bridge projects
Rice & dal given through PDS & miniscule flood relief done by voluntary groups just kept them alive
Demand has totally collapsed. Bazars are closed not because of lockdown but nobody has any money to buy.
Bharat Sebashram Sangha & Red Volunteers are running kitchens for few hundreds but thats nothing in comparison to 40 lakh people who need relief
Situation is tragic🙏

Even after WB BJP President, Dilip Ghosh's distancing from the proposal, north Bengal BJP MPs like John Barla & Raju Bista, says its critical to curve region out of West Bengal and make it a UT.
Said 7 BJP MPs from region will raise it in Delhi soon
Darjeeling MP Raju Bista had raised the issue of separate state in Parliament in September 2020 & Dilip Ghosh had supported the demand by banging the table
Most Bengal BJP supporters are OK with this move of bi/trifurcating WB. This has been a pretty old promise of BJP. Not new
This proposal was spelt out in details, right after Bengal elections. In Capital TV (Very respected in BJP circle), citing Central Govt sources
Reasons given
-Threat from Pakistan
-Muslim population
-Gorkha Identity issue
-Increasing landmass for Assam state
1. Arrest the accused 2. Bail be denied to them 3. Went to Supreme court on Special Leave Petition , appealing to cancel house arrest of accused 4. Transfer case outside state
@IamSourav_b@sarkar_swati This is NOT how Indian politics work. Elites dont touch each other across party lines (Chidu & Lalu are exceptions, for reasons).
Revenge has been historically targeted against grass root workers, always.
Only 1 recent addition. SM handles, in payroll, engage in amplification
1. No one was convicted in 2G & Coal scams post 2014 2. National Herald case was slowed down 3. Kamal Nath did NOT pursue Vyapam scam in his 1 yr tenure as CM 4. Bhupesh Baghel never went after Chitfund scams in Chhattisgarh during 15 yrs of BJP rule
1. Withdraw WB Board affiliation for 1000+ RSS schools 2. Close down Sakhas in districts 3. Start shooting BJP MLAs instead of workers 4. Book 20 trains & send WB Matuas to see condition of their brethren in Assam detention centres
