MALDA, 11 MAY: The directorate of Census (operation) has instructed the Malda administration to conduct Census in all 66 moujas of the district that are identified as islets in the Ganga and administratively controlled by the Jharkhand state.
But the district administration has not started the job apprehending law and orders problem and to avoid other technicalities. It is learnt that the Jharkhand government officials are conducting development works in the islets and also carrying out Census work.
The commissioner, Jalpaiguri division, Mr AK Singh recently visited the islets to take first hand stock of the situation. He has sought further instructions from the secretariat of the chief minister about the directorate of Census order to conduct the exercise in the islets.
According to the in-charge of the Census exercise in Malda Mr Tanay Deb Sarkar, the instruction as sought by the divisional commissioner is yet to reach them. According to Mr Deb Sarkar, the divisional commissioner has sent a detailed report and information to the chief minister about the islets, which are currently under the administrative control of the Jharkhand government. In 2001, both the West Bengal and Jharkhand governments conducted Census in the 66 moujas in question.
“Census workers in Malda would face difficulties to reach the spots by water ways. We need to set up a camp there to carry out the Census in the islets, but we apprehend law and order problem when another state is working in those islets”, Mr Deb Sarkar said.
