Metro Briefs

Flights return

Technical problems forced two flights to return to Calcutta airport within minutes of taking off on Friday morning. A Gulf Air flight to Muscat, carrying 65 passengers, took off at 9.10 am but returned at 9.54 am. The flight finally left at 11.45 am. An Alliance Air flight, carrying 107 passengers, took off for Agartala at 8.15 am, but returned at 9.10 am. The passengers were sent on another flight.

Bail rejected

The high court on Friday rejected the bail plea of Subhoranjan Khanra, Sunil Ganguly and Rahmat Ali, all serving jail terms for murdering Chandan Sen, a doctor at a Ranaghat hospital. The plea was moved before the division bench of Justice D.P. Sengupta and Justice Biswanath Sommader.

Memorial

The Victoria Memorial Hall trust, at a meeting presided over by the governor on Friday, prepared the final draft of the MoU it proposes to sign with the London-based Calcutta Tercentenary Trust for constructing an auditorium-cum-art gallery. The draft will be sent to the Trust, which will fund the Rs 40-crore project.

Two persons were arrested in Bhangore, on the southern fringes of the city, on Friday, after four kg of ganja was found in their possession.
