The City Diary

Price review meeting

Chief secretary Ashok Mohan Chakrabarti will hold a meeting at Writers’ Buildings on Monday to review the rise in the prices of essential food items. Representatives of Calcutta police and the enforcement branch will attend the meeting. Police and EB have been asked to conduct raids to prevent hoarding of essential items, especially sugar and potatoes.

Leader held

Dilip Dey, a former CPM commissioner of Rajarhat-Gopalpur Municipality, was arrested in Barasat on Sunday morning in connection with last week’s assault on Trinamul Congress leader Subir Mondal. The complaint filed by Trinamul leaders states that Dey had led the gang that assaulted Mondal. Three men had earlier been arrested. Dey has been remanded in judicial custody for 14 days. Local MP Sougata Roy (Trinamul) organised a “peace meeting” in the area on Sunday evening.

Remand

A Salt Lake court on Saturday remanded Rajesh Kumar, arrested on the charge of fielding a dummy candidate in the state JEE, in police custody for two days. Rajesh was arrested at the JEE counselling venue in the Salt Lake stadium on Saturday. He will be produced in court again on Monday.

Fatal mishap

A 35-year-old man died after a 500kg crane at the factory where he worked fell on him on Sunday morning. Amit Pal, a resident of Nadia, was rushed to Balitikuri ESI Hospital from the factory in Howrah’s Dasnagar and then shifted to Maniktala ESI Hospital where he died.

Two injured

The driver of an autorickshaw and a passenger were injured when the three-wheeler was hit by a truck on Raja Manindra Road in north Calcutta late on Saturday. Seikh Jahangir, the driver, and the unidentified passenger were taken to SSKM Hospital. The driver of the truck, Sanjay Patra, 30, was arrested by a team from Shyambazar traffic guard.

Protest

Relatives of Purnima Singh, who died last Monday after an appendix and cyst surgery at RG Kar hospital, organised a demonstration on the hospital premises on Sunday afternoon. The protesters alleged medical negligence had led to Purnima’s death and demanded that the hospital set up a probe panel. Hospital officials said a probe had ruled out negligence but refused to show the report to the relatives.

Low-cost airline IndiGo launched a daily Calcutta-Lucknow flight, via Patna, on July 4. The flight takes off from Lucknow at 4.50pm and arrives in Calcutta at 7.35pm. It will take off from Calcutta at 10am and reach Lucknow at 12.30pm.
