Kolkata: The West Bengal Assembly has passed a Bill lifting a 116-year-old ban on employing women in bars, a restriction originally imposed by the British under the Bengal Excise Act of 1909.

Tensions escalated in Sandeshkhali, North 24 Parganas, as a fresh clash erupted following the release of a new sting video by the Trinamool Congress (TMC).

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) conducted extensive raids on Friday at the residence and market owned by suspended Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader Sheikh Shahjahan in Sandeshkhali, North 24 Parganas district of West Bengal. This development follows Shahjahan's recent arrest and subsequent custody by the CBI in connection with multiple allegations including land grabbing, extortion, and sexual crimes against local women.
