looks like Umbrella palm...Cyperus alternifolius...
it popps up in disturbed land near water boies and high rain areas in the north eastern India including West Bengal...

the fan/umbrella shaped  is very popular with flower arranging ladies esp for  ikebana...

lots of seeds are produced, self seeds

Sir,

It looks like the same as in https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/species/a---l/cl/cyperaceae/cyperus/cyperus-alternifolius. I saw this plant in Alipore Hort., later i also noticed it growing in the wild, beside a residential house.

Thank you,

Regards,

surajit

Good morning Rathinasabapathy Ji

Please also see Cyperus involucratus at - http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/showimage/218974/#b.

FoC informs while Cyperus alternifolius is naturalized in many tropical areas Cyperus involucratus is widely cultivated.

Thank you,

Regards,

surajit

Yes, Sir, I think it is, more precisely perhaps Cyperus alternifolius subsp. flabelliformis Kük., for its flexuose drooping involucral bracts, as in the KEY in FoC (Cyperus involucratus Rottb.) or illustration in FoP..

Thank you
Regards
surajit
