Kolkata: The Mamata Banerjee government on Friday made public its two recent communications to the Centre as proof that it stands ready to receive flights carrying stranded people and quarantine them for Covid-19.
The move came a day after the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA)’s said it would arrange such flights to Kolkata if the state government would confirm its willingness to “receive” the air passengers and “quarantine”.
The MEA was reacting to a complaint by West Bengal education minister Partha Chatterjee’s allegations that no arrangement of flights has been made by the Centre so far.
