Kolkata Police’s orange T-shirt tender for Durga Puja volunteers sparks row
Kolkata Police’s ₹89 lakh tender for orange T-shirts and caps for Durga Puja volunteers has triggered a political row, with TMC and Congress alleging “saffronisation”.
A political row erupted in West Bengal over a tender floated by the Kolkata Police to procure orange-coloured, full-sleeve T-shirts and peak caps for temporary volunteers during Durga Puja.
“An e-tender has been invited for the procurement of orange-coloured full-sleeve T-shirts and peak caps for temporary volunteers during the Durga Puja. The total estimated cost is ₹89 lakh,” a senior officer of Kolkata Police said.
