West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee on October 13 virtually inaugurated eastern India's largest logistic hub by e-commerce major Amazon at Uluberia in Howrah district, generating employment opportunities for more than 20,000. The complex would also cater to the demand from the seven states in the country’s North East and Sikkim, she said.

The Amazon logistics hub or fulfilment centre started operations yesterday. Banerjee said Flipkart has already begun functioning from March and invested ₹2,000 crore for setting up its logistics hub in Uluberia.

The chief minister hoped more logistics companies from across the globe come to West Bengal to set up similar facilities for customers, according to media reports from the state.
