New Market Kolkata

Just visited the New Market in Kolkata.Also called the Hogg Market, it was built by the British and like for everycase, we are unable to preserve it even though there are hundreds of shops operating there. It seems no one cares, and i wonder where or taxes are being spent ?

Like all architectural remnants of the British era, this market too will vanish in less than a decade.

There is another image which reveals the state of neglect, a speaker which is covered with cobwebs since at least a decade !   No one seems to care....

Illegal Migrants in Kolkata

Just having seen Assam burn with the Bangladeshi migrant problem, i am amazed to see the sheer callousness of the State and Central Govts over the issue. How can we accept over 2 lakh people driven out of their homes and forced to stay in relief camps. Question is WHO LEF THEM IN ? WHO GAVE THEM VOTER ID CARDS ?

We cant just accept what the netas say, since they are slowly selling the Country away,all for their petty electoral gains. They are all in the twilight of their careers and won't be available for answering later.

I have myself witnessed a similar menace about to erupt into a similar issue in Kolkata, where close to Park Circus, a whole colony of migrants has developed a portion of a water pipeline as their land ! On inquiring from my taxi driver, i was aghast to learn that they were bonafide voters ! Illegal migrants frk Bangladesh have taken over a sizeable portion of our city, right astride the road to the airport ! The netas see it and the bureaucrats see it, but they just don't seem to care...or do they ?

Here are a few images to show what i mean....
