MALDA, 22 JULY: The West Bengal Civil Service Executive Officers’ Association (WBCSEOA) has approached its state secretary to draw the attention of the home secretary regarding the law and order problem at the block levels where block development officers are not feeling secure.
The association will hold its executive committee meeting in Kolkata on Saturday to take a final decision on submitting a deputation to Home Secretary, Mr Ardhendu Sen, demanding security of the executive officials at the block levels in Malda district.
Though two organisations of WBCS officers have reported the two incidents of attacks on the BDOs of Harishchandrapur blocks I and II to the state secretaries, representatives from Malda would be present in the executive council meeting on Saturday to narrate the situation.
Mr Narbu Teshering Lepcha, BDO Harishchandrapur block II, was assaulted by villagers on the issue of anti-erosion and flood protection. After the incident, Mr Amiya Das, BDO of Harishchandrapur block I was assaulted by the Congress leaders when the Congress called a 12-hour bandh across the state.
Police arrested one of the office bearers of the Congress-led Harishchandrapur block I panchayat samiti but Harishchandrapur police could not arrest the other three Congress leaders who were named in the FIR.
According to the WBCSEOA Malda unit, state leaders will be coming to visit Malda shortly to interact with the officials over this issue.
This apart, the BDOs and other executive officials are also under pressure by the political leaders where officials are trying to follow government directions to implement some projects.
To ease the situation, the representatives of the two WBCS officials' organisations, met the sabhadhipati of Congress led Malda Zilla Parishad, Mrs Sabina Yeasmin and submitted a representation to her pointing out the present problems in the district.
