Alipurduar (WB), Jan 22 (PTI) West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday alleged that verification process was not being properly done and directed all officials, including district magistrates, to make field visits.

"Verification is not being done properly. The quality of field verification is unsatisfactory. I ask the DMs, SPs, BDOs, SDOs, MPs, MLAs, and Sabhadipatis to make field visits. They should visit ICDS centres, mid-day meal centres, health centres, and tea gardens," she said.
