BCCI President Sourav Ganguly\u2019s elder brother and Cricket Association of Bengal joint secretary Snehasish Ganguly is \u201cdoing alright\u201d after testing positive for COVID-19, which forced the former India captain and CAB chief Avishek Dalmiya to be in home quarantine.<\/p>\n
Due to the continuing rise in COVID-19 cases, Ganguly was handling all his BCCI work from an office near his residence, while the shooting for his popular Bengali TV show \u2018Dadagiri Unlimited Season Eight\u2019 had not resumed.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere was a notice saying that the Rajarhat studio was in a containment zone so we could not resume any shooting for season eight this time,\u201d a crew member told PTI.<\/em><\/p>\n Giving a health update on Snehasish, Dalmiya, in a statement issued by CAB, said, \u201cThese are tough times. He has admitted himself yesterday at a city hospital. Other than having mild temperature, he is alright at the moment. Wish him a speedy recovery.\u201d <\/p>\n \u201cYes, I would be undergoing home quarantine for the next few days as per required protocol.\u201d <\/p>\n However, it is unlikely that the BCCI chief and Dalmiya would be tested immediately as protocol requires for some symptoms to show before that. <\/p>\n The CAB offices, meanwhile, will remain closed indefinitely till further notice, Dalmiya said.<\/p>\n \u201cThe CAB had not opened after Chandan Das, who works in the civil engineering department on a temporary basis, tested positive for COVID-19 on July 4. We will keep it closed indefinitely till further notice,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n While all meetings took place virtually, Dalmiya said he and Snehasish had gone to CAB last week during a brief visit of Kolkata Police officials to turn a few galleries of Eden Gardens into a quarantine facility.<\/p>\n \u201cDuring the meeting with the Kolkata Police authorities at their headquarters Lal Bazar, only I was present on behalf of the Association. However, Snehasish Ganguly had joined during the later part of their brief visit at Eden Gardens,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n Snehasish\u2019s family \u2014 wife, mother-in-law, father-in-law along with their domestic help \u2014 had tested positive for the dreaded disease on June 20 at their Mominpur residence.<\/p>\n Since then, the elder Ganguly had shifted to their ancestral house \u2018Chandi Bhawan\u2019 in Behala where the BCCI President is based.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
