West Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankar, known for a stormy relationship with the state government, on Saturday praised Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s decision to call on the army for help in restoring essential infrastructure and services devastated by Cyclone Amphan.”A good move @MamataOfficial to seek support and assistance of Army. These are trying time and appeal to people to keep calm. Authorities must restore connectivity, electricity and other services at the earliest,” he wrote on Twitter.Mr Dhankar has been less combative since large parts of the state were devastated by Amphan, one of the worst storms to have formed over the Bay of Bengal in recent years.
