ICC revises formats for men's ODI and T20 World Cups; winning trophy will be tougher
Following a major political transition in West Bengal, direct luxury interstate bus services have officially commenced from Kolkata to four major national destinations, including Delhi, Bengaluru, Chennai, and Puri. The premium long-distance coaches were officially flagged off from the Karunamoyee Bus Terminus in Salt Lake on Wednesday.
State Transport Minister Arjun Singh and BJP State President Samik Bhattacharya attended the inauguration, emphasizing that the newly elected administration succeeded in expediting operational permits within two months of taking office.
During the launch ceremony, Samik Bhattacharya criticized the previous administration for leaving government transport networks nearly defunct and stated that the new government actively welcomes Public-Private Partnership (PPP) models to simplify licensing workflows. Talking to Taaza TV, Transport Minister Arjun Singh emphasized on the need of bus services to other states. He said that with better transport services, more development will come.
