Bengal govt to discontinue tram service in Kolkata barring one short stretch
The West Bengal government plans to discontinue Kolkata's 150-year-old tram service, except for a heritage route from Maidan to Esplanade. Transport Minister Snehasis Chakraborty cited traffic congestion as the reason. Tram enthusiasts plan protests, arguing trams are non-polluting and not significantly slower than other vehicles.
