Kolkata Floating Market

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's dream of changing Kolkata into London has taken a detour, it seems, via Bangkok. Like the one in Bangkok, Kolkata now has a floating market. The shopkeepers love it and are saying, why Bangkok, we could even be in Venice.

The Kolkata Metropolitan Development Authority (KMDA) will be setting up the first floating market of the state in southern fringes of the city to rehabilitate vendors displaced during widening of the Eastern Metropolitan Bypass or the EM Bypass.
