India’s first under-river Kolkata metro’s Howrah Maidan-Esplanade corridor recorded 12.14 lakh passengers traveling along the stretch in 30 days, some of which run below the Hooghly river.
On his birthday on Saturday night, a youth in Nadia’s Nabadwip allegedly pushed his five-year-old stepbrother into the Hooghly. The child, born from his mother’s second marriage, is feared drowned.
