The Board of Trustees of Kolkata Port Trust, in its meeting held on 25 February 2020 has passed a resolution to rename the Kolkata Port as Syama Prasad Mookerjee Port.
The KoPT chairman, Mr Vinit Kumar today said “Out of the three, two KoPT employees are in the hospital and are undergoing treatment while one CISF constable has also been put in isolation.
The Kolkata Port Trust in association with the Institute of Social and Cultural Studies recently organised a seminar at the site of its Indenture Memorial on the theme of ‘Indentured labour and the Ganges.’
Like every year, The Statesman Vintage and Classic Car Rally 2020 unfailingly mesmerised the carlovers and the common people of the City of Joy alike.
He also said Prime Minister today used Belur Mutt and KoPT programmes as a political platform to preach for Citizenship (Amendment) ACT(CAA) and for other vested political purposes.
The Port has a rich heritage and had seen the wrath of both World War I and II. World War II took a toll much closer to home for this Port, when officers lost lives in a Japanese air raid directly on the Kidderpore Dock Complex.
Earlier, today PM Modi accused the Opposition of spreading misinformation about the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA).
Even before the PM arrived, protests erupted across the state with students of Left group SFI and political parties taking to the streets shouting 'Go Back Modi' and burning his effigy.
It was learnt that cranes have been deployed by KMC at the big ghats like Nimtala, Judges Ghat and others, to quickly pick up the idol from the water after it has been immersed.
The police have also taken up measures for the immersion ceremonies on Vijaya Dashami on 8 October.
