Haldia Dream comes true Town Hall History on view Ganga A report on erosiont

Calcutta's history will be on view at the historic Town Hall where the museum is being upgraded by the Corporation. The mayor Prasanta Chatterjee has said that the Centre has refused to sanction money for this but keeping in mind the demands of the new millennium, the state government would generate resources to enable the scheme to take off. It is likely that by April, the new museum will be open for the public.

The Victoria Memorial authorities in Calcutta have also been sounded out to return artefacts and bust statuettes of famous residents of this city which had been taken from the Town Hall either on loan or as gifts. The Memorial response is awaited but it is expected that all agencies involved in keeping and making Calcutta a history-happy metropolis will lend a helping hand.
