1. Diving deeper into Bengal RRTS. RRTS for Kolkata/Bengal region is trending, as it is formally proposed to MoHUA. But what went behind it? @SarkarSouradip & I teamed up to prepare the masterplan of the proposal after we were approached by an enthusiastic team under @SamikBJP.

Choosing Maidan - The SARAI KALE KHAN of Kolkata. Maidan is centrally located, having 1 existing metro lines, and 1 proposed HSR terminus. All 4 lines radiate from Maidan, because RRTS should ideally originate from the core of a city, to eliminate the hassle of interchange.

Provision of new Metro Networks using RRTS tracks. Our Bengal RRTS plan proposes the use of RRTS tracks and run metro rail between Asansol (R.K Mission) - Kalipahari, Kolkata (Maidan) - Budge Budge, and future provision for Kolkata - Kalyani, along with Durgapur Light Metro.

If only we could be more responsible towards the construction of our own metro rail. Thank you, Honourable Calcutta High Court, and @upamanyu95
Big victory for people of Kolkata. I thank Kolkata High Court and Hon Justice Sujoy Paul for passing an order in the Chingrighata case of WPA (P) 297 of 2025 Upamanyu Bhattacharya Vs State of West Bengal & Ors. State has been ordered to give traffic block in January for Orange Line Metro construction which will unironically solve the entire Chingrighata jam once the metro starts running from South Kolkata to Sector V, Salt Lake. More on the same after we get the order copy. Jai Hind. Joy Maa Kali. Joy Bangali.
