"Save
The Nation" Programme Observed In Bengal
B
Prasant
AT the call of the state unit of the CPI(M),
programmes were held all over Bengal to mark the "Save the Nation" day
on August 15. From Darjeeling in the north to the Sunderbans in the south,
workers of the CPI (M) and of the various mass organisations observed the day
with the putting up of human chains and taking out of marches and jathas.
The highlight of the day was certainly the
programme held in the morning across the district of north 24 Parganas where
several lakh of people from all occupations joined hands from the Barrackpore
industrial belt down into the Sunderbans area between 10 and 10:20 A.M. The
torrential rain and the blowing wind could not detract from the undoubted
success of the programme.
Reports have come in from every district
of Bengal on the successful observance of the "Save the Nation" day
and on the great enthusiasm the programme generated among the mass of the
people.
