If we advertise in local Bengali News papers (along with the English

people will turn up.
But while placing news in newspaper, please give a mobile number or email

I have a Reliance datacard , so probably it should work , even if there is

room, with one, there is nothing better than it.
Really appreciate your efforts in setting up the Wikimeetup.
