CPM to Organize 'Save Bengal March' Starting November 29
The CPM political party is organizing a big walk across West Bengal called the 'Save Bengal March.'
It starts on November 29th and will go on for about three weeks.
The party wants to talk about problems in the state like too many people using drugs, not enough jobs, women not feeling safe, and schools and hospitals not working well.
They also want to discuss issues specific to the northern parts of Bengal.
They hope this walk will help them connect with people before upcoming elections.
Some people wonder if the party can regain its old strength, while others think the march won't help.
The CPM will organize the 'Bangla Banchao Yatra' (Save Bengal March), their largest political foot march in recent years.
The march is scheduled to begin on November 29 in Tufanganj, Cooch Behar, and conclude on December 17 in Kamarhati, North 24-Parganas.
Key issues to be highlighted include drug abuse, unemployment, women's insecurity, and failures in healthcare and education.
The CPM aims to address specific concerns in North Bengal, such as wildlife conservation, tea garden crises, and educational institution challenges.
While the march is planned to strengthen the party's grassroots ahead of elections, its effectiveness in regaining lost organizational strength remains a question.
