Boundary wall sparks row in Malda


Statesman News Service
MALDA, Feb. 6: The Malda chief medical officer of health, Dr Radha Raman Banik, today urged the police not to allow the people of a minority community to construct boundary wall along a mazhar on the Malda hospital premises.The Malda Zilla Parishad sabhadhipati, Mr Goutam Chakraborty, reportedly gave permission for the construction of the boundary wall, much to the chagrin of the hospital authorities.Arguing that the site is being considered for the proposed medical college, Dr Banik urged the police to immediately stop the boundary wall construction.After getting "green signal" from the MZP, people have already have started assembling materials for the construction at the site. The hospital authorities had first raised the objection to the police on 12 January. However, the MZP sabhadhipati, Mr Goutam Chakraborty, refused to withdraw the permission.He, instead, sent a formal proposal to the hospital authorities for the construction of the boundary wall."Such constructions on the hospital premises would create difficulties for the patients. If the boundary wall was built, a large number of devotees would throng the site, thus making things difficult for us," the CMOH, Dr Banik, said.
