The Leader of the Opposition in the West Bengal Assembly, Suvendu Adhikari, has ridiculed Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee over the latter’s suggestion for the plantation of mangrove saplings in the hills to prevent floods in the northern part of the state.

Her suggestion came on Wednesday while she was addressing an administrative review meeting in Darjeeling amid the recent flood and landslide that devastated the hills, Terai, and Dooars regions in North Bengal.
