West Bengal Goverment

Bengal Governor CV Ananda Bose will set up a new team at the Raj Bhavan to handle his affairs and in the first move in that direction, his Principal Secretary Nandini Chakravorty has been moved to the Tourism Department from the Raj Bhavan.

The West Bengal government's decision to change the state's name to Bangla drew mixed reactions from experts, with majority calling the axing of 'west' as a "good riddance" while some thought that the use of localised nomenclature may lead to "linguistic confusion".

The Calcutta High Court on Thursday directed that the Tata Motors Limited's petition challenging the Singur Land Development and Rehabilitation Act 2011 would be heard on Friday after the West Bengal government did not oppose its amendment application.
