Ashoke Mondal

Kolkata's popular 'Maa' canteens are now 'Maa Ahar', offering a revamped menu at Rs 5. Beneficiaries will enjoy fish twice a week, eggs twice, and vegetarian meals on other days. This expansion includes 110 new centres, bringing the total to 500, with the government increasing its subsidy to accommodate the richer fare.

Ashok Mondal’s upcoming ‘Somporko’ which stars Kamleshwar Mukherjee, Laboni Sarkar, Samadarshi Dutta, Rimjhim Das, Anup Chakroborty, Ayantika Nath and others in pivotal roles is a family drama loaded with Bangaliayana. The shoot was recently wrapped up in Behala.

Students at Ahmedabad's National Institute of Design (NID) are protesting due to the new director, Ashok Mondal, transferring over 20 faculty members and heads of departments, allegedly violating rules. The protest intensified as Mondal's email failed to address specific concerns, including the removal of women from lead positions.

A Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidate for the upcoming assembly by-elections and a legislator were heckled in the presence of a saffron party MP allegedly by Trinamool Congress (TMC) supporters during campaigning in West Bengal's Coochbehar district on Tuesday.

Four men died and two turned critically ill after they drank mistaking it to be water. The group was drinking alcohol at a poultry farm in Baruipur when the incident happened around 9pm on Tuesday.

Ashok Mondal’s next ‘Amader Samparka’ is yet another addition to the list of heartwarming family dramas we have seen in Tollywood of late. Although the director says there’s a pinch of mystery and it is ‘cake-e-licious’. It might sound naïve but interestingly a cake resolves a mystery in the film.
