Bose opened a mobile control room with numbers 03322001641 and 9289010682 for the ongoing agitation in connection with the RG Kar case. Raj Bhavan said that anyone may call up the numbers if they wish to convey anything to the Governor.

He is learnt to have assured the father of support and consoled the bereaved family.

During the Rakhi celebration programme at Raj Bhavan on Monday, Bose pledged to support their efforts until the goal of a safer environment for women is achieved.

The Governor recently said in an interview: “Bengal is in a state of flux. Students have lost faith in the government. Youths are scared and women are in a state of despair. There is a feeling that the government, which is supposed to protect the citizens, is not

doing its role.”
