Congress urges PM Modi to open call center in Bengali language

West Bengal Congress president Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury has urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to open a call center in the Bengali language to assist migrant workers from Bengal who was trapped in flood-ravaged Kerala.

Language is a great barrier for Bengali speaking migrants in Kerala and they would not be able to express their condition as well as communicate to their families back home, Chowdhury wrote in a letter to the prime minister.

Thanking Modi for "initiating best possible relief work in Kerala", the Congress MP requested the PM to consider and implement a call center in the Bengali language for assistance to a large number of migrant workers from the state, especially Murshidabad, Chowdhury's constituency.

"Please accept my silent gratitude in advance for and on behalf of families from my constituency in Murshidabad for your positive instructions to the concerned departments towards hastening implementation of the same," he said in the letter written yesterday.

The monsoon rains have claimed 210 lives since August 8 and has displaced over 7.14 lakh people from their homes.
