Targetting more jobs Aim towards self-employment DLW Basu opposes moves to shift offices Tea Indefinite strike in tea plantations Telemagazine Ganashakti launches its own telemagazine

The West Bengal Chief Minister Jyoti Basu has recently written to the Railway Minister, Mr. Nitish Kumar requesting him to look into the move of the authorities of the Diesel Locomotive Works (DLW), Varanasi, to shift their purchase office and Receipt Inspection Depot from Calcutta.

Basu wondered what exactly prompted the DLW authorities to take this decision --- if at all already taken, ---- particularly when these offices have been operational for a considerably long period of time in the city. Basu doubted, if there were any justifiable grounds for shifting the concerned offices from Calcutta and requested Mr. Kumar to urgently look into the matter to dissuade the DLW from taking any such decision to shift the offices from Calcutta.
