A Tube rail station in London will soon have Bangla signage, marking a first for the country. There is an English sign at Whitechapel Station accompanied by Bangla signs in commemoration of the densely populated area with a large Bangla-speaking population.
Mamata Banerjee has posted a tweet celebrating the ‘victory of Bengali culture and heritage’. The tweet shared by the chief minister expressed his pride at London Tube Rail’s decision to use Bengali as the language of signage at Whitechapel Station, a sign of the 1,000-year-old language’s growing global importance.
