The Majerhat bridge, which will be opened to traffic on December 3, will be named Jai Hind Bridge as a tribute to Subhas Chandra Bose on his 125th birthanniversary, chief minister Mamata Banerjee said on Tuesday.
“We have decided to change the name of the Majerhat bridge to Jai Hind Bridge as our tribute to Subhas Chandra Bose on his 125th birth anniversary,” Mamata said at Nabanna.
“All the community centres in Calcutta under the Calcutta Municipal Corporation have been named Jai Hind. We have decided to take forward the slogan of Jai Hind in keeping with the ideals of Subhas Chandra Bose.”
