Hingalganj: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee halted a programme in North 24 Parganas on Tuesday (November 29, 2022) and chastised the district magistrate for failing to deliver blankets and winter clothing she had purchased for distribution among locals. In the presence of locals, Banerjee requested that District Magistrate Sharad Dwivedi make arrangements to bring the garments to the venue as soon as possible. Thousands of people had gathered in Hingalganj for the event, which was intended to distribute government scheme benefits and caste certificates."I've brought 15,000 winter garments, and blankets for locals. Where have you kept them? Bring them to me immediately. I'll not continue with the programme till you get those. I'll wait here," Banerjee informed Dwivedi.

The CM, who is in the district for two days, also warned the DM and other officials that such lapses would result in severe punishment. "I'm sorry, but I'll have to take action in case the DM and block development officers don't carry out their responsibilities properly," she added. Bunches of shawls were brought to the venue about 15 minutes later. The CM then announced that 1,000 shawls would be distributed to local women. Earlier in the day, the CM, who arrived here in a helicopter on Tuesday afternoon, offered prayers to the local deity 'Bonobibi' and planted a tree at a temple here.
