Mouth-watering ‘Rosogolla Utsab’ to be held in Kolkata

A unique “Rosogolla Utsab” is going to be held in Kolkata to celebrate the Geographical Indication (GI) tag for “Banglar Rosogolla”.

The programme will be held sometime in March; Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee is expected to grace the occasion with her presence.

Although the venue and other aspects of the utsav are yet to be finalised, a team comprising of sweet manufacturers in the city had gone to the Chief Minister’s residence at Kalighat on Monday morning with their proposal to organise the programme.

It may be recalled that on November 14, the day when it was announced that Bengal has been conferred with the patent for “Banglar Rosogolla”, Mamata Banerjee had tweeted: “Sweet news for us all. We are very happy and proud that #Bengal has been granted GI (Geographical Indication) status for Rosogolla.”
