Another KMC councillor, Biswajit Mondal arrested, after woman alleges molestation and threats
As the Trinamool Congress prepares for its annual Shaheed Diwas (Martyrs' Day) celebrations on July 21st, typically a day marked by heavy rainfall in Kolkata, the Meteorological Department has offered a contrasting forecast that brings a sigh of relief for the ruling party. Despite the ongoing pre-21st July rains in the city, the weather office predicts a significantly lower chance of precipitation in Kolkata on the crucial rally day.
This favorable forecast for the Trinamool Congress's massive gathering near Victoria House in Dharmatala is a welcome development for organizers, who usually contend with challenging weather conditions. However, the Meteorological Department has issued a different outlook for Durgapur, where Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to hold a public rally on Friday.
According to the department's predictions, Durgapur is expected to experience heavy rain and thunderstorms during the Prime Minister's rally. This forecast could pose logistical challenges for the event in Durgapur, while the Trinamool Congress in Kolkata might benefit from relatively clearer skies for their highly anticipated Martyrs' Day commemoration.
