London Archives - Talk To Iconic

Neil Basu, an Indian-origin officer, is at the head of the race to become the next commissioner of the London Metropolitan Police. The British media reported this information. Basu Dame, a counter-terrorism officer in Britain, is a strong candidate to replace Cressida Dick, Britain’s first woman police chief. Dick resigned from his post earlier this week. He is currently the Assistant Commissioner (Special Operations) of the London Metropolitan Police, aged 53.

His father was a surgeon from Kolkata and had moved to Britain in the 1960s where he married a Welsh nurse. Basu graduated from the University of Nottingham with a degree in economics, joined the Met Police in 1992, then became chief of counter-terrorism and specialist operations before becoming director of the College of Policing.

According to the Guardian; during the London Bridge incident two years ago, Basu and his team caught and killed Usman Khan Was, after that Basu’s fame increased further. He has previously spoken out about the discrimination he endured as a child.

The Evening Standard reported that he said that in a blog post in October 2020, he was not fond of “Black History Month” as he “doesn’t like the fact that we need a special month for the recognition and celebration of black achievement and for understanding racism”.

Are you interested in traveling overseas by bus? Yes, then very soon this dream will become a reality. Actually, the Delhi To London Bus Service will be able to operate from Delhi to London after the India-Myanmar border is normalized. In September, luxury buses with state-of-the-art facilities will depart from Delhi for London.

As part of the ‘Bus to London’ initiative by Adventures Overland, once the route has been finalized, travelers can travel to 18 countries covering a distance of about 20 thousand kilometers in 70 days. The cost of this package is 20 thousand dollars or about 15 lakhs. The package includes all services, such as tickets, visas, and lodging in different countries.

As a result, people will be able to enjoy the bus service from Delhi to London for the second time in 46 years. A British company started a bus service from London to Kolkata via Delhi in 1957. The bus used to run but crashed after a few years. The Sydney-India-London bus service was started again by a British passenger with a double-decker bus. This continued until 1976. The bus service was closed at that time due to the internal situation in Iran and the tension between India and Pakistan.

The route has now changed

An Indian company has started to work in this direction once again. In the case of the bus service, the old route has been changed since the old bus service was stopped. In place of Pakistan and Afghanistan, it will now be transported to France via Myanmar, Thailand, China, and Kyrgyzstan. Cruises will also be used to cross the English Channel.

By bus from Delhi to Kolkata, you will reach Myanmar. On the way to London will be Thailand, Laos, China, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Russia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Czech Republic, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, and France.

We will also use the ferry service

It will take about two hours to cross from Calle in France to Dover in the UK with the ferry service between France and London. The bus then departs for London with its passengers.

The bus will have 20 seats and a cabin

The new bus will also have 20 seats and a separate cabin for each passenger, just like the old bus. From eating and drinking to sleeping, there will be facilities. A visa and all the necessary travel documents can be obtained on this bus.
