MALDA, Feb 23: With the forthcoming Lok Sabha elections in the newly formed North Malda parliamentary constituency in mind, the state government today laid the foundation stone for a new college at Harishchandrapur in Chanchal subdivision.
The environment minister and state parliamentary affairs minister Mr Sailen Sarkar, one of the projected candidates for the north Malda parliamentary constituency, conducted the ceremony. The CPI-M will finalise its candidates on February 24 with the state leaders in Kolkata.
Though the Congress-led Malda Zilla Parishad (MZP) sabahdhipati Mrs Sabina Yeasmin attended the foundation-laying ceremony, she objected to allowing the local committee of the College to utilise funds allotted for the construction and development of the college campus. Mrs Yeasmin claimed that the MZP was entitled to utilise the funds for the college.
The district magistrate Mr. Sridhar Ghosh attempted to seek the co-operation of the MZP chief for the development of a college in backward blocks like Harishchandrapur I and II.
There are two colleges at Samsi and Chanchal for six blocks in the Chanchal subdivision of north Malda. The ruling political leaders in the district administration have proposed to set up two more colleges at Harishchandrapur in Chanchal subdivision and at Manikchak in Malda subdivision. The district has nine colleges. n SNS
