COVID in West Bengal is spreading in in small towns and villages with not enough access to healthcare. In your thoughts, prayers, and rescue assistance, remember those places too. Calcutta is not the whole Bengal, the majority of Bengal lies out of its boundaries.

There is Bengal beyond the places you go for vacations. There is Bengal North of Bolpur and South of Dooars. There is Bengal beyond Digha, Mandarmani, Bakkhali. We are not insignificant rail stations you pass on your way to adventure. These are real places, with real people.+

Facing a very real pandemic with almost no access to healthcare compared to Kolkata. Do not let your rescue focus be dictated by a Kolkata centric approach. Our hometowns don't have the charm, they have needs. And those needs don't come out in media. Change that.
