MALDA, Nov. 17: The chief minister yesterday advised MLAs belonging to Opposition to hear grievances and suggestions from their assembly segments in Malda.
The chief minister told the present CPI-M MLAs to ‘talk less’ and allowed the MLAs belonging to the Congress and other parties to speak during an interaction with them at Old Circuit House after laying foundation stone for the University of Gour Banga.
The MLA suggested to the chief minister that the state should look into the expansion of Malda town including some part of gram panchayat areas in English Bazaar and Old Malda.
On the issue of Lakshmipur drainage scheme, the chief minister ensured that he would sanction more funds for the scheme from Uttar Banga Unnayan Parishad (UBUP) for execution of the scheme.
The English Bazaar MLA pointed out that the fund allotted for the drainage scheme was diverted to another project and the scheme was yet to be started.
The drainage scheme was conceived in eighties but was yet to be carried out due to several difficulties including litigation. Though the UBNP had sanctioned funds but it was diverted to finish the project of central bus terminus in English Bazaar.
The district administration took initiative to revamp the project and assigned the irrigation department to prepare a fresh scheme and diverted the fund for proper utilisation. It was also decided that the administration would seek fund from UBNP for the scheme latter. n SNS
