KMC to create green stretch along Bypass
Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC) has decided to plant 35,000 saplings along a stretch of EM Bypass, parts of which are barren. KMC has chosen a variety of species — Bakul, Jarul, Amaltas and Tecoma, among others — for the plantation drive along the Bypass. The saplings will be planted between Science City and Dhalai bridge by the end of August.
Mayor Firhad Hakim will plant saplings as a token measure near the Tagore Park crossing, on EM Bypass, on Wednesday morning.
Call to store OMR sheets for 10 years
West Bengal School Service Commission (WBSSC) has proposed to the education department that the filled-in OMR sheets of examinations for appointment of headmasters and headmistress be preserved for 10 years from the date of publication of the merit list.
Last month, the commission had proposed that the OMR sheets of exams to recruit assistant teachers at secondary schools be preserved for five years, despite a recommendation from the state government to store them for 12 years.
