Panel to take up issue of redeveloping old buildings: CM

She said the government never intervenes in someone's food habits or religious beliefs; the CM also wished people on Chhath Puja

Chief minister Mamata Banerjee today urged the occupants of dilapidated buildings to sit with local leaders to develop their properties and cautioned businessmen against keeping highly combustible plastic at their godowns.

She visited Burrabazar to inaugurate the Jagadhatri Puja, organised by Posta Bazar Merchants' Association. She said, "Burrabazar is mini-India. People from different religions, caste, and creed have stayed here for generations peacefully. We never intervene into someone's food habits or religious beliefs. Our long cherished belief is on communal faith and harmony," she said.
