Trinamool Congress MLA Tamonash Ghosh who tested positive for COVID-19 and was undergoing treatment at a private health facility in the city passed away on Wednesday. The 60-year-old three-time MLA is survived by wife and two daughters.<\/p>\n

Mr. Ghosh represented Falta Assembly constituency in South 24 Parganas district in West Bengal.<\/p>\n

\u201cVery, very sad. Tamonash Ghosh, three-time MLA from Falta & party treasurer since 1998 had to leave us today. Been with us for over 35 years, he was dedicated to the cause of the people & party. He contributed much through his social work,\u201d Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said.<\/p>\n

Ms. Banerjee took to Twitter to express her condolences and said that the party leader \u201chas left a void that will be difficult to fill\u201d.<\/p>\n

Mr. Ghosh is the first elected public representative in the State to succumb to the contagious viral infection.<\/p>\n

During the day, Ms. Banerjee called for an all-party meeting to discuss the situation arising out of the pandemic.<\/p>\n

While the discharge rate has increased to 62.58 %, the number of deaths touched 580 on Tuesday. The total number of infections is 14,728 of which 4,930 are active cases.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
