It is surprising not to find the name of cities like Noida,Gaziabad,Faridabd.Gudgaon,Surat,Jalandhar and other important cities which more employment than Kochi,Panjim and Indore.Is it a fake survey to cheat the reader or unduly prepared report in small office.

A daily wage worker earns upto Rs 200 in Kochi when the average wage in other parts is on an average Rs 60-80.
To be very honest enough the salaries in kolkata is the lowest.Man employers really exploit the employees. Those who work in kolkata they can feel the pain..

Kolkata people are good. But red communist are still stick to old scrap ideology
No wonder India is still among the third world nations. Because indians first fight for and love their cities and then probably their country. Mumbaikars beating out northies, kannadigas fighting with tamils, Delhites raping women. This article was about employment, a deep seated concern for increasing trend on temp jobs like US. And you guys started fighting for cities. Kudos for Rabi! Calcutta is still the cultural capital, where people don fight with each other. They aren't racist and certainly the most open minded city of all... So Rabi don get bugged because people are jealous and insecured with the rise of the new sun on the eastern horizon.
HI its pretty clear that overall NCR and Mumbai are the best cities to work in generally speaking unless and until you look at IT which is when south India is good.

Majumdar challenged the acquisition but lost the case and he had to part with 15 cottahs. After Majumdar%u2019s death in 1996, Lolita applied to the Alipore court for a letter of administration (which certifies her as the legal heir of her father) and she got it in January 2007. A few months later, she got the mutation certificate from the Calcutta Municipal Corporation after paying outstanding property tax dues.
%u201CAfter Partition, my father lost his property in East Pakistan and bought the land with the hope of building a house. I cannot give up my land even if I have to shed my blood,%u201D Lolita said. Her two sons and a daughter stay in America while she travels between Calcutta and Mexico where she has a house.
Lolita%u2019s mother Beryl Burridge Majumdar, a musician, was well-known in Calcutta and had a school on Park Street.
This is just to say you what the people of West Bengal faces.. At least if you complain to the leaders of the left that draws some action. Recently one senior leader has been expelled from CPIM for forcing into a farm.. Its like choosing the better amongst the worse..

%u201CHe refused to help me saying I am not his voter. What a strange response!%u201D Lolita, a teacher-turned-social-worker, said.
Roy confirmed having met Lolita and had no qualms in iterating the basic criterion for getting protection from law-breakers.
%u201CIt%u2019s right that the local people have occupied her vacant land but she is not our voter and we don%u2019t want to antagonise so many refugees for her sake. This is not a public interest matter. So it does not concern me at all,%u201D he said.
Roy seems to have some respect for the law, but only if it is laid down by the high court. %u201CSo many properties have been occupied illegally in Calcutta. We will see whether we can help her only if she files a writ petition in the high court under section 226 (infringement on her fundamental right),%u201D he added.
Contacted, Praveen Kumar, the superintendent of police (South 24-Parganas) said: %u201CWe will comply with the court%u2019s order and will act accordingly.%u201D
Lolita%u2019s father, the late Sailendra Mohan Majumdar, a barrister in Calcutta High Court, had bought the property %u2014 22 cottahs %u2014 a couple of months after India became independent. But the state government took 15 cottahs when the Urban Land Ceiling Act came into being in 1976.

%u201CWe won%u2019t let you go from here. You will be allowed to go only after our leader Arup Biswas says so. The land is a playground where we have cultural programmes throughout the year. We will never allow anyone to take over the land,%u201D a man said.
Contacted, the MLA did not beat about the bush. %u201CThe land belongs to the local club. We will not allow anybody to take over the land,%u201D he said.
By making that assertion, the MLA has thrown a direct challenge at the law of the land. On March 18, the Alipore magistrate court had ruled: %u201CJadavpur police should see that no breach of peace takes place and that the opponents are restrained from doing any wrongful act at the time of lawful construction of boundary wall in respect of the property. OC Jadavpur is directed to keep close vigil over the issue and maintain peace at the locality.%u201D
But the police, too, cited the Nandigram parallel and blamed Lolita for leaving the land vacant for many years. %u201CThe officer-in-charge told me that he did not want a Nandigram to happen there and asked me to leave,%u201D Lolita said.
She visited Writers%u2019 Buildings and submitted a letter to chief minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee%u2019s office requesting him to intervene in the matter.
A couple of days ago, Lolita met senior Trinamul Congress leader and MLA Saugata Roy and complained that his party supporters have been encroaching on her land.

Mahesha read this article.. Then you will understand why the residents in Bengal are not voting out left. This has been published by The Telegraph, the leading english daily newspaper..
Calcutta, April 1: %u201CNandigram%u201D has become a tool to grab land in Calcutta. If you are not a Trinamul Congress voter, just grin and bear it.
Trinamul supporters have seized seven cottahs belonging to a 62-year-old woman, Lolita Lekha nee Majumdar. At the current market price, the land will fetch Rs 1.05 crore.
The land grab has the blessings of an MLA and the endorsement of another %u2014 both representing a party that fed on the movement in Nandigram against forcible acquisition.
Lolita, who shuttles between Calcutta and Mexico, was driven out of her ancestral property on 130 A Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose Road, near Ranikuthi, last month. The land borders a club, Netaji Jatiya Sebadal, run by Trinamul.
%u201CThey became violent and threatened to kill me if I ever visited the area to claim my property. About 200 people led by MLA Arup Biswas gathered on the spot and misbehaved with me. Some of them spat on my face and I had no option but to return,%u201D Lolita told The Telegraph. %u201CThey also said that they would turn the area into a Nandigram if I tried to take possession of my land.%u201D
The violent response appeared standard procedure. On Tuesday, over a hundred youths, mostly Trinamul supporters, surrounded The Telegraph team and snatched the camera from the photographer and mouthed invectives.
