With ubiquitous online trading, CSE would need to have a very strong case for revival. Insufficient volumes will make it an arbitrage centre, exactly what the FM wishes to avoid. Another option could be to create a large and diversified Commodities Exchange or create a Bond Exchange.

I welcome the announcement by the Hon’ble CM of WB permitting eateries to remain open 24/7. However, I urge caution, particularly for eateries, located in residential areas, such as the 2 famous ‘dhabas’ on Ballygunge Circular Road.

The following are non negotiable:

(a) keep the footpath free of encroachment as recently reiterated by the Hon’ble SC,
(b) cars are parked in a single line, and most important
(c) no consumption of alcoholic beverages, inside or outside cars; they cannot become a surrogate bar cum restaurant and potentially a law & order concern as witnessed in past.

These terms, conditions and rules should be strictly enforced.

This is a major legal & social menace. Encompasses all forms of certificates - educational & governmental. Solution lies in securing issuance at source using blockchain technology available in India.

@kayleighmcenany This report from the US shows that India must tighten protocols for issuance of academic credentials. Blockchain enabled system is a low hanging & economical solution. #AICTE_India #NAAC_India #AIMtoInnovate #TruScholar

@rpokolkata Sir, my PCC (CA2085003022726) applied on 13 February 2026 is still not issued. I have a deadline to submit by tomorrow. All PS formalities completed. Request your kind intervention and help for urgent issuance, please.

@FlurysIndia found this whole bay leaf inside a vegetable puff bought from your Tolly Club outlet yesterday. This could have been catastrophic if bitten. No check?

[Ashok Barat @barat_ashok]

@FlurysIndia a picture of a full bay leaf inside a vegetable puff bought from your outlet at Tolly Club yesterday. If the puff had been bitten into without peeling, this would have been catastrophic. What’s happening to quality control?

[Ashok Barat @barat_ashok]

@Nidhi @IndiGo6E And @SEBI_updates must enquire what the RMC of the Board was doing all this while. It’s their responsibility to assess & monitor preparedness for compliance with upcoming laws & regulations. Once implemented, ongoing compliance is the overall Board’s; initiation is RMC’s task.

@airindia Priority baggage usually comes out last. They take good care it seems to store it well. Wish they mention it at check in, can request them to remove the red tag that serves no purpose!

@aaikolairport this evening aero bridge could not be docked with the aircraft as the operator was occupied watching the cricket match. @IndiGo6E had to ultimately get their ladders to disembark passengers. Good show in the centenary year!

[Ashok Barat @barat_ashok]

@KolkataAirport aerobridge not available as operators watching cricket match. @IndiGo6E had to get their ladder to disembark passengers just now. Welcome to Kolkata the most progressive city of India!

@DTDCIndia @DTDCIndia I’m still awaiting an answer ….

[Ashok Barat @barat_ashok]

@DTDCIndia I’m desperately trying to figure out the status of D06371396. App not updated for the last 4 days. Call centre does not have a clue! What’s going on? Is the consignment lost? Do I need to lodge a missing report with the police?

[Ashok Barat @barat_ashok]

@DTDCIndia @DTDCIndia The consignment is still untraceable after 6 days! What’s going on?
