Update at 11.20am: People outside a liquor shop in Kalighat
Update at 10.20am: A group of 75 eminent personalities from West Bengal has slammed TMC MP Mahua Moitra for criticising NRI doctors, who had recently written to chief minister Mamata Banerjee voicing concern over the Covid-19 situation in the state

*After a Covid-induced break, surgeries have resumed across Kolkata's private hospitals with stricter precautions to prevent transmission.
*While several non-core private and government offices in Kolkata resume operations from Monday with 33% workforce, following the central guidelines, public transport will continue to remain a spot of bother as none of the private bus operators are willing to operate with only one-third of seating capacity.
*The demand for real estate is still strong in Kolkata, with over 200 Kolkatans having booked apartments worth at least Rs 80 crore between March 25 and April 30, and not a single deal falling through in the commercial sector, even as there’s very little certainty of when life would return to normal.
*While medicines supplies have normalized to a large extent in Kolkata, necessary FMCG and personal hygiene items like baby food, sanitary napkins and diapers are reeling under supply shortage in several parts of the city.
*Off-shops in non-containment zones in Kolkata have been allowed to open from 12pm on Monday. Around 35-40 such liquor shops will roll their shutters up in central and some parts of south Kolkata.
