"We have had an income of Rs 8.5 crore and we are expecting more from the ticket sales," CAB joint secretary Avishek Dalmiya said after its working committee meeting.
The profit is significant since the CAB's balance sheet had revealed a deficit of Rs 3.70 Crore at this time last year.

"We have made huge profits. We will overhaul the infrastructure and will develop indoor facilities in districts," president Ganguly said.
