Abhishek Banerjee Gets 10 Extra Days to Answer KMC Notices

In a development that has drawn political interest across West Bengal, the Kolkata Municipal Corporation decided Monday to allow Abhishek Banerjee ten additional days to address queries on seventeen properties. The original deadline expired at midnight, but lawyers for the Trinamool Congress MP sought extra time in a formal letter sent the previous day. Corporation staff had earlier affixed the notices to the walls of his south Kolkata home. The queries focus on whether proper permissions were obtained for any structural changes. Hours before the extension was confirmed, a team of plain-clothes police arrived at the residence and departed with electronic equipment. Although the purpose of the visit remains unclear, it has sparked fresh debate in administrative and political corridors. The property is listed under a company associated with Banerjee family interests, adding another layer to the ongoing scrutiny.
