Kolkata is a major city in eastern India, serving as the capital of West Bengal state.

The city has also been the venue for several high-profile cricket matches, including T20 World Cup semifinals and group stage matches. Additionally, Kolkata has seen a cluster of Nipah virus infections, sparking regional anxiety and prompting health screening measures ahead of the Lunar New Year travel rush. These events demonstrate the city's significance in Indian politics, sports, and public health.
