According to a government communication, Haldar and his team will reach Sandeshkhali around 11 am on Thursday.

SC To Deliver Its Verdict On Validity Of Electoral Bonds Scheme Today
The Supreme Court will deliver on Thursday its verdict on pleas challenging the validity of the electoral bonds scheme.
In November last year, a 5-judge Constitution Bench headed by CJI D.Y. Chandrachud and comprising Justices Sanjiv Khanna, BR Gavai, JB Pardiwala, and Manoj Misra had reserved its verdict in the matter after hearing the arguments for three days in a row.
The petitioners before the apex court had argued that the Electoral Bond scheme violates the citizen's fundamental right to information under Article 19 (1) and it enables backdoor lobbying and promotes corruption and eliminates level playing field for political parties in Opposition.
Responding to the challenge, Solicitor General Tushar Mehta -- the second highest law officer of the Centre -- had contended that the scheme is intended to reduce cash in the electoral process.
S-G Mehta asserted that the Union government cannot know the details of donations made through Electoral Bonds.
