“The PM will be visiting West Bengal after Odisha and hold a review meeting with me at Kalaikunda after an aerial survey of Digha in East Midnapore,” Mamata Banerjee told mediapersons at Nabanna, state secretariat.

The team of government officials will receive the detailed application for the relief and rehabilitation requirements from the affected people in East and West Midnapore, South and North 24 Parganas.
