Asansol

“We got to know they are police only after the Jharkhand police contacted us,” an official in Asansol, where the men were arrested, told the Hindustan Times.

Reports from some other parts of the state, including the industrial areas of Asansol and Durgapur and the tea gardens of North Bengal claimed that work continued as if no strike had been called.

West Bengal: The central government has extended the moratorium on setting up “potentially polluting” units in Haldia and Asansol imposed by former Union environment and forest ministry Jairam Ramesh, making it harder to attract investments to the area, the Telegraph reports.

I have got down at Raichur, Dhond, Sonepur, Chakradharpur, Purulia, Asansol and other junction stations and been at the 'Mosafirkhanas' attached to these stations.

Another day through the hilly country and, a hundred and fifty miles from Calcutta, the flourishing coal-mining district of Asansol brings me again to the East India Railway and semi-European society and accommodation.
