AI didn't inform us its decision to withdraw flight: Mamata

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee today said Air India did not inform the government about its decision to withdraw its flight on Kolkata-Durgapur-Delhi sector from June 17.

"We were not told of Air India's decision," she said.

Air India yesterday said it has decided to withdraw its thrice-a-week flight on Kolkata-Durgapur-Delhi sector from June 17, six months after its inauguration, due to 'operational reasons'.

Meanwhile, Banerjee has handed over the task of investigating chit fund scams to senior police officer Jawed Shamim.

The Chief Minister said Shamim, who is the Director of Economic Offences Wing, has also been given the additional charge of CID.
 

"CID investigates these scams and so we have given him the additional charge in CID so that he can probe those cases," she said.
