‘Suffocated’ Firhad Hakim likely to quit as Kolkata mayor

Kolkata Mayor Firhad Hakim is reportedly considering stepping down this week, possibly Friday, after the Trinamool's defeat in the Kolkata Municipal Corporation polls. Sources suggest Hakim expressed feeling "suffocated" to party chief Mamata Banerjee, citing the KMC's perceived ineffectiveness. This move follows the arrest and resignation of several councillors, adding to the pressure.
