MALDA, Nov 5: The English Bazaar Municipality (EBM) has decided to start extension of the station road from Rathbari to near Malda Town Station.
The road will be named after the late ABA Ghani Khan Choudhury, the former Malda MP and the Congress and Trinamul Congress-led civic body plans to install a statue of the leader at Rathbari connecting five point-crossing of NH 34.
The chairman of the civic body Mr Narendranath Tiwari said a decent amount has been allotted to the electricity department for shifting the present electrical poles for expansion of the road.
The construction of the two-way road will start after the electricity department shifts electrical poles on either side of the road.
According to the civic body, a rehabilitation project has been formulated for the enlisted traders who were evicted when the flyover was constructed.
The municipality will also launch a special drive to demolish encroachment on either side of the road. Some buildings, which have narrowed the present road, will be taken down soon, Mr Tiwari said.
A total of Rs 75 lakh has been allotted for the construction of the two-way road. Besides its own fund, the civic body has collected funds from the Malda MP, MLA, Uttar Banga Unnayan Parishad and Malda Zilla Parishad.
