MALDA, Nov 20: The registrar of the University of Gour Banga Mr Tapas Chatterjee today approached the state government to hand over more land from the adjoining areas close to the present land earmarked for the new educational institution.
In reference to the chief minister Mr Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee's speech during the foundation laying ceremony of the UGB on 16 November, Mr Chatterjee today wrote a letter to the principal secretary and the commissioner of land and land reforms requesting them to handover 5 acres and another adjoining land measuring 3.38 acres owned by the agriculture department..
The chief minister had said that merely 30 acres is not sufficient for the university and more land will be required from its adjoining areas. The minister for environment Mr Sailen Sarkar approached the district magistrate for a meeting to take initiative to transfer the land and he held a meeting with the district land and land reforms officers and other concerned officials including the registrar of the UGB.
It was decided that the university authorities would approach the government for seeking land. The district magistrate Mr Sridhar K Ghosh said more land would be required for the construction of staff quarters, quarter for vice chancellor, students’ hostel, and play ground. Though the chief minister had promised that he would sanction Rs 20 lakh from the Uttar Banga Unnayan Parishad for the development of university, the registrar of the UGB today sent another approach letter to the Jalpaiguri Divisional Commissioner, the member secretary of the UBNP, seeking Rs 34.27 lakh for the construction of library building with supporting papers today.
