statesman news serviceSILIGURI, 7 AUG: The north Bengal development affairs minister, Mr Gautam Deb, today said the work for chief minister's secretariat in Siliguri would be complete within 14 months.
Mr Deb was addressing a programme organised by Indian Dental Association, north Bengal branch, on academic upgrade. “In order to identify Siliguri, a fast growing ‘city’ after Kolkata, and to deal with the problems of north Bengal, chief minister Miss Mamata Banerjee has selected a plot here and planned to complete her mini-secretariat to be named ‘Green House’ within 12-14 months, “ Mr Deb said.
Miss Banerjee had selected a plot at the Chandmoni Tea Estate, close a township project, at Matigara during her recent north Bengal trip. Following her instruction the district administrative officials have already managed NOC (no objection certificate) from the tea estate authority and started resumption of nearly five acres of land for the chief minister’s secretariat. The promoters of the township had also earmarked that deserted tea plantation area, as ‘Green House Project’ and they had not changed the character of the plot.
Mr Deb said the state has planned to upgrade the North Bengal Medical College and Hospital (NBMC&H) as regional medical centre. He said: “The principal secretary of the health department is looking into the matter to upgrade the health infrastructure in the state, including the NBMC&H. The CM has asked me to prepare a paper in consultation with experts to set up regional medical centre here.” The state has planned to set up second health campus of Siliguri district hospital and Jalpaiguri district hospital, Mr Deb said.
