Mamata Banerjee is the guardian of the people of Bengal: Abhishek Banerjee

“The State government stood beside the people during the floods. The government extended all help to people during the natural calamity. Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee stood by the people like a guardian,” Abhishek Banerjee said on Saturday.

He was addressing a meeting at Chandi gram panchayat area in Amtala. He distributed cheques to the homeless people in the area for construction of houses and donated Rs 4 crore from his MPLAD fund for the construction of ‘Karma Tirtha’ marketing hub in the area.

He also laid the foundation stone for the construction of main gate and visitors’ rest room at Amtala hospital. “The surge of development has silenced those who were engaged in slander against Mamata Banerjee,” he said.

The development initiatives will continue unabated, despite all the smear campaign, he added.

Bengal to get 10 more women police stations

10 more women police stations are coming up in West Bengal besides the existing 20.

The West Bengal Chief Minister had targeted to set up 65 such police stations across the State.  The government has approved the establishment of 330 posts under various categories for the new police stations. A woman police officer will head each of these police stations and majority of the other ranks will constitute of women also.

In the first phase 20 women police stations were set up at Howrah, Barasat, Baruipur, Asansol, Jhargram, Contai, Chinsurah, Krishnanagar, Siliguri and Jalpaiguri Sadar, sub-divisional headquarters of Burdwan Sadar, Medinipur Sadar, Purulia Sadar, Bankura Sadar, Darjeeling Sadar, Sreerampore (Hooghly), Suri (Birbhum), English Bazar (Malda), Diamond Harbour (South 24-Parganas) and Barrackpore (North 24-Parganas) have got such stations. Now, 10 new stations have opened at Bidhannagar and Durgapur Commissionerate, Cooch Behar, Balurghat, Raiganj, Berhampore, Kharagpur, Haldia, Uluberia and Arambag.  With these new stations the total number of all women police stations has reached to 30.

WB CM Ms Mamata Banerjee has been working relentlessly for the safety of women across the State. It was her idea to have all women police stations in the state to combat women related crimes. In a police station where women will not only feel free and safe to report criminal cases against them, but where such cases will also be dealt with immense sensitivity and compassion.

In another innovative step, the West Bengal Government is launching a special police cell to deal with highway accidents. This cell will be known as ‘Highway Traffic Police’. Along with investigating accident cases on highways, they will also take prompt action so that accident victims get immediate medical attention and effective rescue missions.
