CM Mamata Banerjee inaugurated the Gangasagar Mela at Babughat

- STATESMAN NEWS SERVICE

Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said reaching the Gangasagar Mela is tougher than getting to the Mahakumbh in Prayagraj as one has to cross a river to reach the venue.

She inaugurated the Gangasagar Mela at Babughat in the city this evening.

Miss Banerjee reiterated that the Centre should declare the Gangasagar mela a national fair. She further announced that the state government is constructing a 5 km long, four-lane bridge on the river at an estimated cost of Rs 1,500 crore. Once the bridge is completed, reaching Gangasagar will no longer be a problem.
