Mamata Banerjee steps in to resolve Howrah Christmas Carnival Row

 

Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee launched the Howrah Christmas Carnival by herself. The event came to an abrupt halt amid allegations of hazing in the name of parking. The Howrah city authorities alleged that the program was stopped midway due to the objection of the 'closers' of the State Minister for Sports Manoj Tiwari.


Last December 22, the Howrah Christmas Carnival started at Shasthi-Narayan Eco Park in Dumurjla, Howrah. Allegedly, money was being taken illegally in the name of Howrah Municipal Corporation in the name of parking. An agency called Maa Tara Parking, citing the name of the Howrah Municipal Corporation, collects this money from the day the fair opened on December 22. Illegally 10 rupees per bike and 5 rupees per cycle is collected. Money was taken in the name of the corporation but no valid receipt was issued. Minister and MLA of the area Manoj Tiwari went to the spot on Wednesday after receiving complaints from the residents of the area. The angry locals caught those who were collecting parking fees illegally and handed them over to the minister.

The accused money collectors named Mohammad Arbaz, Mohammad Jahangir, Mohammad Shamsad, Dipu Dubey said during interrogation that they were collecting money on the instructions of two persons named Rajesh Tiwari and Saurabh Dutta. According to residents of the area, Saurabh Dutta is an employee of the Howrah Municipal Corporation. On his orders, money was illegally withdrawn from parking and stalls.

 

The MLA handed over the accused to the police officer of Jagacha police station and assured that no other person can collect the toll illegally in the name of parking. After that, the Howrah Christmas Carnival was closed overnight. However, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee is angry. On her way to Chakla on Thursday, she expressed his enthusiasm. She ordered the start of the fair immediately.
