Raids on BSNL officials

The CBI on Wednesday carried out a series of raids on the offices and residential premises of some officials of the BSNL and Calcutta Telephones. The officials had allegedly submitted fake bills on procurement of cables. The sleuths seized cash, bonds, fixed deposit certificates and shares worth Rs 1.20 crore from the premises.

Awards for e-governance

Two e-governance initiatives of the state government have won prizes in the national e-governance conference, being held in Bhubaneswar. While the Braille computer system has won the gold medal in the new entrant category, the telemedicine project has been awarded bronze for outstanding service delivery, IT minister Manab Mukherjee said on Wednesday.

Abduction trial

Judge-in-chief of the city civil and sessions court Basudeb Majumdar will conduct the trial in the Parthapratim Roy Burman abduction case at Alipore Central jail, the high court ordered on Wednesday.
