The overwhelming response from Nandigram reflects the trust you have placed in us and we are truly grateful. It is a privilege to stand in service of the people. Barring tomorrow, the Sebashray camp in Nandigram will continue until 31st January. I sincerely thank our doctors and medical professionals for their unwavering commitment to humanity. Sebashray stands because of their dedication. ❤️
Today, as I laid the foundation stone of Durga Angan in New Town, I was overwhelmed with a sense of elation and fulfillment. In 2021, UNESCO honoured our beloved Durga Puja with the distinguished recognition of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, acknowledging its universal resonance as both a spiritual invocation and a cultural celebration. The ceremony reflected the true spirit of Bengal. People across faiths, castes, communities, cultures, and generations gathered in collective reverence. In this moment, I saw the essence of unity, devotion, and shared pride that defines our land. This day will be inscribed in the golden pages of Bengal’s history.
Durga Angan will be built across 17.28 acres, with a total constructed area of nearly 2,00,000 square feet. The complex is envisioned as a yearlong sacred sanctuary, open 365 days, welcoming close to one lakh visitors every day. The central courtyard will accommodate 1,000 devotees at a time, allowing prayer to unfold in a shared spiritual congregation. A 20-foot-wide circumambulatory path will be adorned with 1,008 pillars and delicately sculpted arches. The main sanctum will rise to 54 metres, echoing the architectural grandeur of our spiritual texts. In adherence to sacred tenets, 108 divine idols and 64 lion sculptures will be consecrated within the complex.
Beyond the principal mandap, the premises will include individual mandaps for the Singhadwara, the Pradakshina path, a sacred Kund, and shrines for Lord Shiva, Lord Ganesha, Lord Kartikeya, Goddess Lakshmi, and Goddess Saraswati. There will also be a dedicated space for prasad preparation and a cultural museum celebrating Bengal’s artistic and spiritual legacy. The entire temple complex will be landscaped with over 300 trees and 1,000 flowering plants. Designed as a gold-certified green building, the complex emphasises natural illumination, ventilation, and ecological balance, ensuring that divinity and nature breathe within the same sacred enclosure.
A trust has been formed under the leadership of the Chief Secretary to oversee the upkeep, preservation, and management of this spiritual precinct. This initiative will not only enrich our cultural and spiritual expanse but also strengthen local enterprise, foster employment, and amplify Bengal’s stature on the world tourism map. Durga Angan will stand as a luminous confluence of Bengal’s spirituality and culture, a testament to unity in diversity that will welcome millions from India and across the world, inviting them to witness our art, heritage, devotion, and harmony.
On the 5th of next month, I shall lay the foundation stone of the much-awaited Gangasagar Setu, and in the second week of next month, the foundation stone of the Mahakal Temple at Matigara, near Siliguri. These endeavours reaffirm our commitment to uplifting pilgrimage sites of every faith. We walk the path of unity, never division. I remain guided by the universal ideals of Sri Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, whose message of interfaith harmony lives at the core of Bengal’s soul. Every faith to me is sacred. Every community is equal. Humanity is the highest form of worship.
Rabindranath Sanyai??
No, Mr. @AmitShah. Rabindranath Tagore. Sachindra Nath Sanyal. Two towering figures. Two entirely different people. But how would you know the difference?
After all, you are BOHIRAGOTO with zero cultural literacy. Do your homework. Stop mangling our icons. Stop humiliating our luminaries.
And most importantly, STOP EMBARRASSING YOURSELF.
Day 10 of #Sebaashray2 in Metiaburuz showed with quiet clarity how real governance begins when care finds people before they come searching for it. Across every camp, families, daily-wage workers, and elders received the attention, guidance, and treatment that had been missing from their lives for far too long.
Some moments were small, yet deeply telling. Teachers from Akra Shaktigarh Rabindra Vidyapith arrived with their students for routine check-ups, a brief visit, but a powerful reminder that health is not an individual concern; it shapes every age, every aspiration, every classroom dream. Their gratitude wasn’t just a reaction, it was an affirmation of trust in a system that travels to the people, not the other way around.
This is the Diamond Harbour Model in motion: governance that is accessible, humane, and proactive. A governance framework where service is not an event but an everyday commitment, where care is not symbolic but sustained, where administration meets people at their doorsteps with dignity and empathy.
Day 10 of #Sebaashray2 reinforces a simple but powerful truth: welfare is not a paragraph in a file, it is something that must walk into people’s lives, unasked, unannounced, and unwavering.
The day’s outcomes reflect not only the scale of the mission but also the compassion driving it:
🔍 2,783 diagnostic tests were conducted including crucial early checks that catch complications before they become crises.
💊 2,733 people received essential medicines free of cost, ensuring that treatment begins and continues without financial strain.
🩺4,886 residents sat with doctors for detailed consultations, gaining clarity, confidence, and structured follow-up plans.
🏥 40 individuals were identified for advanced intervention and seamlessly connected to specialised care.
But Sebaashray 2 is more than a tally of services, It is about rewriting what people expect from governance. And above all, about proving that in Bengal, public service is not an event, it is an ethic.
মানবসেবাই পরম ধর্ম।
This guiding truth has always been the soul of Sebaashray, a mission that transformed compassion into action, created a space where care became real, and ensured that every individual felt seen, heard, and supported.
With Sebaashray 2, a new chapter begins, one shaped not just by our commitment, but by the unshakable trust people place in us. It is their faith, their warmth, their belief in our work that keeps us moving forward, strengthening our resolve to deliver healthcare that is humane, accessible, and dignified.
At #Sebaashray2, our mission remains clear and unwavering: service without pause, care without compromise, and hope without end.
@abhishekaitc Unfortunately the EC is a sold out agency. Relying upon it will do no good to us Dada. We will have to fight the battle in the ground and win it. We must remember people like T.N. Session is not administering any more. They just don't have the guts. We will hv 2 fight it our way
Time has been sought for a delegation of 10 MPs. They are representatives ELECTED BY THE PEOPLE OF INDIA, unlike the CEC and ECs who are hand-picked by the Government of India. These selective leaks portraying the EC as “transparent” and “cordial” are nothing but a manufactured facade.
If the @ECISVEEP is genuinely transparent, why is it scared to face just 10 MPs ? Hold the meeting openly. TELECAST IT LIVE and answer the five straightforward, legitimate questions that the AITC will place before you.
Is the Election Commission willing to prove its transparency or does it only function behind closed doors ?
@AITCofficial Sometimes power becomes poison which is now consuming BJP, they will surely have a reality check in West Bengal. There is an old saying the bigger they are the harder they fall.

When power starts choosing for you, you stop choosing at all.
Imagine a Bengal where even Pujo plans come with scrutiny, where walking with your own sister can be questioned, and where love itself feels like a crime.
‘What If They Come’ doesn’t just pose a question, it unfolds a world where the answer is already shaping the air. Stay with the series, the blueprint is only starting to reveal itself!
GoWB is always committed for best health care for our children.
