Mamata fetes Manna Dey

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee Thursday met legendary singer Manna Dey at the latter's daughter's residence in Bangalore and presented him the "Vishesh Maha-Sangeet Sammaan".

Banerjee feted Dey with a medallion carrying an inscription - "Banglar Garba" (Pride of Bengal).
