Abstract

The article focuses on the response of West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee to the electrocution deaths that occurred on September 23, which resulted in at least 10 fatalities, including 8 in Kolkata. CM Banerjee announced a compensation of Rs 2 lakh for the next of kin of the deceased and urged the Calcutta Electric Supply Corporation (CESC) to provide an additional Rs 5 lakh to the affected families, attributing the incidents to the company's negligence. The article also discusses the severe flooding in Kolkata caused by record rainfall, which led to significant waterlogging and disruptions in train and metro services. Banerjee criticized the central government's lack of action regarding the dredging of waterways, which she claimed exacerbated the flooding situation. [Extracted from the article]
