As the fight between the two states emerged, West Bengal government has started the procedure of sending the concerned documents to Chennai to get the outcome.

"Researcher and writer Haripada Bhowmik author of the book 'Rosogolla' is clearly proving Orissa claims to be wrong. He has supplied several documents to the State Government to prove rosogolla originated from West Bengal," said Panja.
