Kolkata Land Grab Complaint Presented to Chief Minister
A woman named Kiran Gupta from Punjab says her family’s house in South Kolkata was taken by men sent by a former mayor and a city council member.
She says a big building was built on the land and she and her family have been trying to fix it for 10 to 15 years.
She went to the chief minister, Suvendu Adhikari, to ask for help.
The chief minister holds meetings called Janatar Durbar where people bring complaints.
