Asok: Left built most projects in Siliguri
TT, 22 January 2019, Siliguri: Mayor Asok Bhattacharya said on Tuesday that most of the development works in Siliguri had been implemented by the previous Left Front governments and no further projects could be taken up in the town because of the Mamata Banerjee dispensation's refusal to release Rs 1,400 crore.
On Monday, the chief minister had said her government had executed a number of development projects in north Bengal, including Siliguri and the Darjeeling hills.
"The Siliguri Municipal Corporation is yet to get around Rs 1,400 crore from the government. That is why we could not carry out infrastructure development here. Unlike other 125 civic bodies in the state, we are not provided with funds we are entitled to," said Bhattacharya.
"Most of the development works were executed in and around Siliguri when the Left Front was in power," he added.
The mayor said the SMC had sent a number of proposals to the Siliguri police commissioner to ease traffic congestion in Siliguri The iron barricades put up on Hill Cart Road should be removed for free flow of traffic. E-rickshaws should also be stopped on all principal roads in Siliguri.".
