Waterlogging, poor drainage have halted industrial activity in West Bengal Panihati municipality for months

The West Bengal government has issued closure notices to 252 unaided and unrecognised madrasas, with an additional 100 such institutions receiving show-cause notices. These institutions, commonly referred to as Khariji Madrasahs, are independent Islamic educational institutions that operate without government funding or formal recognition.

A survey conducted by the district administration across 22 districts and Kolkata has led to the closure of these madrasas. The Minister for Minority Affairs and Madrasah Education, Kshudiram Tudu, revealed that teachers, students, infrastructure, and available funds were inspected as part of the survey.
