MALDA, 8 JULY: The Left Front run Old Malda Municipality (OMM) has finally begun constructing a reservoir after weeks of delay, despite protests against the building by locals allegedly backed by Congress leaders.
When the OMM started the construction at Shashthi-tala in ward number 13, a group of women prevented them from working and claimed that the plot of land was not owned by the OMM. Trouble broke out when a large group of people backed by the Left Front protested against these women. Police rushed to the spot to tackle the situation. The OMM chairman, Mr Biswanath Sukul, the CPI-M leader, was able to show papers of the land and prove that it is owned by OMM.
Previously, when the OMM had tried to start the construction work after the end of the parliamentary elections, the same group of men and women stalled the work on the grounds that the OMM are working without the landowner’s permission. ;SNS
