Subhendu Adhikari

West Bengal Transport Minister Subhendu Adhikari on Wednesday said the state government is toying with the idea of re-introducing double-decker buses in the city with a new feature - these buses would be open top like those in London.

It is a sight not seen in Bengal politics in recent history. Trinamool Congress workers on Monday walked in a procession for a party meeting and in the hands of many were 9 mm pistols. At least four, some say eight. First no one really noticed, then someone fired a shot - much in the style of a 'barati'.
