Mamata visits flood affected areas in south Bengal; inspects condition, offers flood relief
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee visited flood affected areas in south Bengal on Tuesday (August 5, 2025). Ms. Banerjee has blamed release of water from reservoirs of Damodar Valley Corporation (DVC) for the inundation of multiple districts in the State. Throughout the day Ms. Banerjee was seen visiting multiple flood affected areas. She started with Arambagh in Hooghly district and spoke to flood-affected people in the area who have taken shelter in a rescue camp. With a bucket filled with khichdi, she served food to the affected people. Later in the day she headed to Ghatal in Paschim Medinipur district where thousands have been affected due to the rising water levels amidst heavy rains. Even though the rains have stopped for the past few days, the water has not receded in these areas. Ms. Banerjee visited Ghatal's flood affected areas with Dipak Adhikari, MP from the area along with other government officials and MLAs and spoke to locals. 'In certain areas central government used to give money for dredging, or Ganga embankment breach issues, but now they have stopped all funds. We bear the full load of releasing these funds,' Ms. Banerjee said standing in the waterlogged areas of Ghatal and addressed the flood-affected locals. Ghatal, a flood-prone town in south Bengal, has long demanded a permanent solution to its annual inundation. The recurring crisis led to the Ghatal Master Plan—a comprehensive flood management project in the works for decades. In the February 2025 State Budget, Finance Minister Chandrima Bhattacharya called it 'unfortunate' that the Centre hadn't approved the plan. The State allocated ₹500 crore for dredging riverbeds and strengthening embankments across 10 major rivers. Implementation will begin in 2025 after the flood situation is controlled, but by June, the State accused the Centre of withholding adequate funds. DVC blamed for flooding Like in the past years, Ms. Banerjee has blamed the DVC water release for the flood in Bengal this year. DVC is a central agency that manages a network of dams in the Damodar River valley between West Bengal and Jharkhand. 'They have not done dreading in the last 20 years. Why are they not doing it? We will not accept this. From next year we will plan and stop the water or redirect it when they release it,' Ms. Banerjee said on Tuesday. On Monday (August 4, 2025) she also said that there was a 11-fold increase in DVC's water discharge in 2025, compared to 2024 is a systematic attempt to trigger floods in the State. State Minister for Irrigation and Waterways, Manas Ranjan Bhunia had also blamed the DVC mishandling of water release from their dams. However, top DVC officials refuted the claims and said that they have not released water beyond 70,000 cusecs in a day in 2025. 'We have managed the situation very well. The rains have been abnormally high this year, but no lives have been lost due to flooding,' DVC official sources told The Hindu. He also highlighted that both West Bengal and Jharkhand government officials are present part of the committee which discusses the water release every time and water is not released without stakeholder advice. The State has been grappling with acute floods this year since June. Unusually high rain is one of the biggest causes behind the issue. Multiple districts in south Bengal like Hooghly, Howrah, Purba Medinipur, Paschim Medinipur, Bankura, and areas in north Bengal like Darjeeling, Kalimpong, and others are battling with severe rain, waterlogging, and landslides in many areas. Thousands of people and hundreds of villages have been hit by the floods.

Today's home buyers need not even have to visit the site: Casagrand Chairman
Owing to advancement of technology in real estate sector, today's home buyers need not visit a site as they can virtually view and pay online to purchase a property, said Arun M.N., Founder, Chairman and Managing Director of Casagrand at Chennai on Tuesday (August 5, 2025). During a fireside chat with R. Rosella Stephen, Senior Associate Editor of The Hindu on 'Vision for Tamil Nadu's real estate growth' at The Hindu Tamil Nadu Real Estate Summit 2025, Mr. Arun said: 'When our [company's] revenue reached around ₹40–50 crore, we set an ambitious goal of becoming a ₹1,000 crore company — a milestone we proudly achieved in a record time of just five years.' 'Since then, our vision has only grown bolder and today, we are close to ₹10,000 crore in sales value,' he added. Mr. Arun also highlighted how one-tenth of Casagrand is now owned by employees. 'They own 10% of the organisation. I've diluted the ownership to them before going in for an IPO, so that the stock options would hopefully reward them,' he said. To a query on Casagrand's role in the Tamil movie 3BHK, said: 'Today Instagram and Facebook is feeding so much information. And these celebrities being present is extra eyeballs.' Sharing his views on the technological developments in the real estate sector, Mr. Arun said that today, a home buyer does not have to come to a site. He (consumer) knows what it is on a video through which he can get the whole site experience. 'He can book online, paying via [debit or credit] card. So, that's how simple and progressive we have made it.' Gone are those days where one used to have many staff to handle customer calls and enquiries. 'Today, we have chatbots, voice calls and WhatsApp conversations.' When asked about the new generation consumers, Mr. Arun said: 'They don't really see a need to own a home as they would want to travel and add experiences. That's for the population, which is about 5-10% of India.' The event is presented by Casagrand and co-presented by G Square. The green energy partner is Swelect and the sports ecosystem partners are SDAT and Tamil Nadu Champions Foundation. The event is supported by CREDAI Tamil Nadu, Lancor, Namma Family Group. The strategic partner is MMA (Madras Management Association). The TV partner is Puthiya Thalaimurai and the digital partner is The Federal.
