Kolkata: The decision of the new West Bengal government to function from the Writers' Buildings has renewed hope among small traders around the BBD Bag area here, as their livelihoods suffered since the state secretariat was shifted to 'Nabanna' 13 years ago.
Owners of tea stalls and small eateries, fruit vendors and traders in the surroundings of the nearly 250-year-old Writers' Buildings said the return of government employees and visitors is expected to boost their businesses.
