CM Mamata Banerjee accused the Centre of “not releasing funds for 100-day work”
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on November 23 asked people of the State to ensure that their names are on the electoral roll to avoid getting sent to detention camps under the garb of enforcing NRC.
She was addressing a programme organised by the State Government to distribute land ‘pattas’ (documents) to marginalised families from all districts.

“Ensure your name is there on the voter list, or else, you will be sent to detention camps in the name of NRC. It’s a shame, shame and shame,” Ms. Banerjee said.
Referring to incidents of "forcible takeover of land by the railway and airport authorities", Ms. Banerjee said, “No eviction will be allowed in Bengal without proper compensation and rehabilitation.”
At the public function, she asked people to start “protests if your land is forcibly taken and the State will be with you”.
She accused the Centre of “not releasing funds for 100-day work”.
When fed into Latin, pusilla comes out denoting “very small”. The Baillon’s crake can be missed in the field, when it is at a distance, as the magnification of the human eye is woefully short of what it takes to pick up this tiny creature. The other factor is the Baillon’s crake’s predisposition to present less of itself: it moves about furtively and slides into the reeds at the slightest suspicion of being noticed. But if you are keen on observing the Baillon’s crake or the ruddy breasted crake in the field, in Chennai, this would be the best time to put in efforts towards that end. These birds live amidst reeds, the bulrushes, which are likely to lose their density now as they would shrivel and go brown, leaving wide gaps, thereby reducing the cover for these tiddly birds to stay inscrutable.
