North Bengalâs Neglected Nerve-Center Presents A Toss-Up Between A Veteran Marxist & His One-Time Understudy Who Turned Saffron
Siliguri is the second-most important urban agglomeration in Bengal and the nerve-center of the strategically important North Bengal region, besides being a gateway to Nepal, Bhutan and Northeast India.

On Sunday, Mamata is scheduled to walk a 3.5km rally from Darjeeling More of the city to Venus More (Hashmi Chowk), her first public programme after her name was announced as Trinamul’s candidate in the Nandigram Assembly seat against the BJP’s Suvendu Adhikari.

This cannot simply go on. Tomorrow (Sunday), we will carry cylinders at the rally in protest,” Mamata told journalists at the Bagdogra airport after her arrival.
