Synopsis
Behala has traditionally been a Left Front stronghold but now it has presence only in some pockets. However, in both east and west seats, people are plagued with bad roads due to incomplete and interrupted Metro work, Majerhat bridge collapse, water-logging, open drains and sewage issues.
Bad roads, incomplete metro work, sewage issues and flooded neighbourhoods every monsoon have marred the lives of Behala residents in the last five years. Behala East and West along with nine other constituencies of South 24 Parganas will go to polls on April 10 in the fourth phase.
Private bus operators from over a dozen routes in and around Calcutta have either withdrawn their vehicles or reduced their numbers because of the rising cost of fuel.
Many others are planning to do the same, unable to bear losses around the time when the transport sector is struggling to cope with the aftermath of the pandemic.
The price of diesel has increased from around Rs 65 a litre a year ago to around Rs 85. The expenses on fuel account for the biggest component of the daily expenses of running a bus.
The blow has been particularly hard for private bus operators, who do not have subsidies to fall back on unlike their government counterparts.
