MALDA, 25 MARCH: The Union minister of state for shipping, Mr Mukul Roy is likely to start a new train -- Anand Vihar- from New Farakka to New Delhi tomorrow. The railway authority has asked the Malda DRM, Mr MK Mathur, to make arrangements for the flagging off ceremony. According to Mr Mathur, they were yet to receive any written instructions on the matter. “Hopefully, a written instruction would arrive by this evening”, the DRM said.
When asked if the South Malda Congress MP, Mr AH Khan Choudhury, who had recently expressed reservation about Mamata Banerjee‘s proposed visit to Malda, would be invited for the flagging off ceremony Mr Mathur said: “Conventionally demands we invite the local MP and MLA to the programme”.
Mr Khan Choudhury is in New Delhi and according to the Congress secretary in Malda, Mr Narendranath Tiwari, said the MP was scheduled to reach Malda on Saturday. “He may not attend the programme at Farakka”, Mr Tiwari said.
More over, controversy surrounds the new train. The people here had expected the rain service would be extended to Malda in keeping with South Malda Congress MP, Mr AH Khan Choudhur’s request to railway minister. The request, however, has been ignored. The railway, instead, would be taking the train to Malda for cleaning and replenishing water supply after its service terminates at Farakka, which is adjacent to Murshidabad district. SNS
