Ratan Saha Appointed Interim Chief of Eastern India Motion Pictures Association Amid Leadership DisputePreviousNext

Ratan Saha, elder brother of Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha, was appointed interim president of the Eastern India Motion Pictures Association (EIMPA) following a no-confidence motion against incumbent chief Piya Sengupta. Sengupta, who asserts her tenure lasts until 2027, has challenged the move legally, alleging intimidation. Saha, a cinema promoter with operations in Kolkata and Agartala, aims to hold fresh elections within three months and has garnered support from some producers seeking change in the Bengali film industry leadership.
