Ceiling of operation theatre at RG Kar collapses, no casualties
Tension broke out at the state-run R.G. Kar Medical College & Hospital in Kolkata after the ceiling of an operation theatre within the hospital premises collapsed on Thursday.
Trinamul Congress has congratulated the state government after Kolkata became the safest city in India for the third consecutive time, according to the National Crime Record Bureau (NCRB) data. Trinamul Congress tweeted: “We rejoice as Kolkata achieves this milestone once again.
Under the able guidance of Smt @MamataOfficial and the constant vigilance of @KolkataPolice, crime rates have significantly plummeted. Beyond its richness in culture, food, music, and art, Kolkata also nurtures a sense of security seldom found elsewhere.” The NCRB data has silenced the BJP leaders both from the state and Delhi who often criticize the city as the haven for crimes where women are not secured.
After coming to power in 2011, chief minister Mamata Banerjee increased the police budget and a huge amount of money was spent to instal CCTV cameras across the city. Almost every area under the Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC) is fitted with CCTV cameras.
