Kolkata New Movie Download Link

[Rita Seliba]

TheCalcutta Chord link line, also known as the C.C. link line, is a 22 km (14 mi) long branch line of the Kolkata Suburban Railway which comes under the jurisdiction of Eastern Railway's Sealdah Division & Howrah Division.[1][2]

The Howrah-Bardhaman Chord, a shorter link to Bardhaman from Howrah than the Howrah-Bardhaman Main Line, was constructed in 1917. In 1932, the Calcutta Chord Link Line was built over the Willingdon Bridge (now known as Vivekananda Setu) joining Dum Dum with Dankuni and opened for freight traffic, thus forming a direct link from Calcutta (now known as Sealdah railway station) to Dankuni on the Howrah-Bardhaman Chord, thus earning the line its name.[12][13]

Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Bangladeshi counterpart Sheikh Hasina on Wednesday jointly inaugurated three projects via virtual mode, including a key rail link between Tripura's Nischintapur and Gangasagar in Bangladesh.

The cross-border rail project near Tripura's capital Agartala and Akhaura in Bangladesh is expected to boost cross-border trade, and significantly reduce the travel time between Agartala and Kolkata via Dhaka. When fully completed, the cross-border rail link will cut the travel time from Kolkata to Agartala from 36 hours to 12 hours.

"It is a matter of joy that we have come together again to celebrate the successful cooperation between India and Bangladesh. Our relationship is touching new highs. Together, we have achieved in the last nine years what has not been achieved in decades," Prime Minister Modi said.

The projects are important for India's Look East Policy and will also boost connectivity to the northeast which is heavily dependent on the narrow Chicken's Neck or Siliguri Corridor. They are also a testament to India's commitment to the region around the Bay of Bengal with organizations like the Bay of Bengal Initiative for Multi-Sectoral Technical and Economic Cooperation (BIMSTEC) which has its secretariat in Bangladesh.

During the inauguration of the Agartala-Akhaura Rail Link, PM Modi highlighted the impact of these projects, especially during the pandemic with oxygen trains. "This is the first rail link between the northeast and Bangladesh," he was quoted as saying by news agency PTI.

"We have focused especially on infrastructure, connectivity and in the last nine years, we have started three new bus services. We have connected Dhaka, Shillong, Agartala, Guwahati and Kolkata. In the last nine years, we have started three new railway services. From 2020, we started container and parcel services," he added.

"In the last nine years through Chittagong and the Mongla Port, we have connected the northeastern states of India. Our connectivity initiative worked as a lifeline during the Covid pandemic," Prime Minister Modi said.

"In the last nine years, four new immigration check posts have been opened on the India-Bangladesh border and our bilateral trade has nearly tripled. The journey of these nine years has made us reach the inauguration of the Agartala Akhaura Railway Link and it is a historic moment," he added.

She added that Bangladesh attaches the highest importance to its relationship with India with a focus on connectivity, trade, and commerce. She expressed gratitude to the government of India for its significant contribution to these sectors and also extended Diwali greetings.

"The joint inauguration of these projects manifests the firm friendship and collaboration between our two countries. I would like to thank you PM Modi for his warm hospitality during my visit to New Delhi in September 2023 to attend the G20 Leaders' Summit. I express my heartfelt gratitude for your commitment to strengthening the bonds of friendship between our two countries," Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said.

"I would like to thank the Government of India for jointly producing the biopic on the Father of the Nation of Bangladesh Bangabandhu 'Sheikh Mujibur Rehman - Mujib: The Making of a Nation'. I would like to extend my deep appreciation and thankfulness to Shri Narendra Modi," she added.

India and Bangladesh ties are crucial for India's Act East Policy and these projects have also laid the groundwork for more cooperation and opening of passenger and freight routes between India and Bangladesh and also for alternative supply routes for northeastern states

We are very fortunate to be linked to G B lane in Kolkata. Some of our staff members have visited this school and worked alongside some truly wonderful and inspirational teachers and children. Being linked with this school in India is immensily rewarding and enlightening for our whole school community.

Today we fly home. There is a mixture of feelings in the groups we set off for our long journey home. But one thing is clear, through the poverty that you can see in these pictures there is also a lot of love, joy and courage. The people we have met over the last 10 days are extraordinary people who are working hard to have better lives, for themselves and their families. We are looking forward to getting home and seeing our families and everyone at Loscoe but we are returning with a slightly different view of the world and of what happiness really means.

Today is Sports Day. A chance for all of the schools we have worked with to come together and have fun! The children were given breakfast and then enjoyed a morning of different sports. Mrs Wyer played football with the children and Miss Sylvester had lots of fun playing parachute games. The children then were given lunch and ice cream whilst they watched a magic show and a ventriloquist show. We rounded off the day with some singing. Throughout the week the teachers and children have been learning a song that we too will learn in the UK. It is called 'Walking in the light' and it was chosen as the lyrics emphasise the importance and love that the teachers in Kolkata have for their children.

Today we visited G B Lane school again. This time we did team teaching with the teachers at the school and helped to support them. It was a lot of fun and the children were very well behaved and happy to have us back. Th teachers were very good and were trying hard to make the learning fun and effect of the children. We started by modelling a phonics lesson and then moved onto maths and literacy. See the pictures below for some of the lessons and activities we did wth the children. We then finished with a final Hokey Cokey! To see the smiling faces of both the adults and children made the trip very worthwhile. We were sad to leave but we will see them all again at the sports day tomorrow.

Did you know that the children at GB Lane had never tasted strawberries! We learnt all about fruit on Tuesday but the children had never tried one so when we returned on Friday we took with us some fruit, including strawberries. The children were given oranges, apples and strawberries but they would not eat them. Instead they put them all into their bags. When I asked why they were not eating them the response was because they wanted to share their fruit wth their families. One boy said that he wanted to give his strawberry to his mum as she had never tasted one either. This was just one reminder in a week full of examples of how lucky we all are at Loscoe. Thank you Mrs Giles for your very generous donation that gave these children, and their families fruit. We may be small but we CAN make a difference- even if just for a day!

Today was a teacher training day. It was so lovely to see all of the Indian teachers as they are so friendly and join in with all of our games and songs. We helped to teach behaviour management through the use of a parrot puppet and also directions and verbs. We finished off by teaching the song 'I jumped aboard a pirate ship.' After lunch, we introduced the teachers to a new website that has been created especially for them, to help with the teaching of phonics. We then spent some time with the teachers from GB Lane and planned what we are going to do in school tomorrow!

Today we went on a trip to a rural village called Diamond Harbour, it took us 3 hours to get there! During the journey, we had lots of time to take in the sites of India. However, it was sad to see so much rubbish! We are so glad that Loscoe has a fantastic Eco Committee to keep our school and local area clean and tidy. We were welcomed into the community by a special welcome ceremony, which included: throwing flower petals, wafting incense and we were each given a bhindi spot. The ladies then demonstrated some traditional, Indian dances! They were amazing!

Today was our first day in school. We were both very nervous but the teachers and pupils at G B Lane were so friendly and kind. We spent time in all three classroom and completed activities with children from age 2-10. We did lots of singing, and the children particular loved The Hokey Cokey! We also taught some maths and how to complete whole class maths activities. We finished the day by reading The Very Hungry Caterpillar. The children loved Mr Parrot and liked shaking his wing and telling him their names.

Today we had our first Teacher Training Day. We started the day with 6 rounds of English language activities, to support the teaching of English in the schools. Our activity was to learn the names of fruits and to talk about fruits that they liked. We then learnt a fruit song which involved verbs (i.e. chop, peel, pick etc). We finished our activity by playing "When I went to the market, I bought...". We then learnt a song (which we will be learning in school next week!). After lunch we had time to plan tomorrow's day in school, with the Kolkata teachers!

After the training we went to Mother Teresa's House. Can you find out any information about Mother Teresa? She is one of the most extraordinary people to have ever lived and to visit where she lived was very humbling. She won many awards for her work with the poorest people all over the world, including The Nobel Peace Prize. Each year 1000s of people visit her house and tomb so that they can pay their respects to this remarkable lady. So who was Mother Teresa?
