Sporting socks and shawl to brave the chill, Miss Banerjee interacted with women members of Self-Help Groups. When the women insisted that Chief Minister take up the task of making momos, a visibly excited Miss Banerjee was seen flattening the dough and shaping the momo with her own hands.

A motley crowd of people circled around Miss Banerjee, and cheered her to make the perfect bite-size momo. Residents of North Bengal have welcomed the Chief Minister with open arms and have been thrilled to have her around for the past five days.

The Chief Minister told the people that it was not necessary that only women formed Self-Help Groups, adding that even men can form such groups and avail the benefits of the state government. “Self-help groups will also be formed with men to increase employment,” she added.

CM Miss Banerjee, who is expected to return to the state capital on Thursday, has toured different areas of the Hills, including Singhmari, Chowrasta and Darjeeling Mall. She also interacted with local businessmen, and sought their ideas to boost tourism in the region.

The Chief Minister also handed out chocolates to kids on the roads, often stopping by and interacting with the tiny ones. A day earlier, Miss Banerjee had offered prayers at the Mahakal Temple. Earlier, a photograph of the Chief Minister holding an infant baby went viral on the social media.
