Kolkata:
On Tuesday, West Bengal Chief minister Mamata Banerjee said that the state is
soon going to get three more districts in Asansol, Kalimpong and Jhargram.
The
said proposal has already been approved by the cabinet and the new districts
would be announced as soon as the Calcutta High Court gives its nod.
Speaking
on the proposal, Mamata said, “Infrastructure is partly ready in Kalimpong and
Jhargram. The rest would be ready soon.” Banerjee, who held an administrative
meeting in Jhargram in West Mindapore district for the first time after
assuming office for the second time, said government development schemes should
be given importance and implementation of MGNREGA should be given priority.
She
said that ‘Khadya Sathi’ (a food security scheme and ‘Sabuj Sathi’ (bi-cycle
for students) schemes of the government should be given importance. “Implementation
of scheme on 100-days work should also be given priority,” she further
added.
She
also stressed that all departments should work according to the timeline fixed
by the administrative authorities. Any lapses by ration dealers would not be
tolerated, she added. She later inaugurated a tribal museum and presided over
the first meeting of West Bengal Tribes Advisory Committee.
Banerjee
added that in all three places, several administrative structures have already
been installed. Jhargram,
Asansol and Kalimpong presently are parts of West Midnapore, Burdwan and
Darjeeling districts respectively.
Currently, West Bengal is divided into 20 districts which includes
the Alipurduar district from 25 June 2014 under three divisions.
