BJP has called for a 12-hour shutdown of north Bengal districts tomorrow.
The union minister of state for Women and Child Development Department, Debasree Chaudhuri, is all set to meet members of the West Dinajpur Chamber of Commerce (WDCC), a trade body of both North and South Dinajpur districts in their office in Raiganj tomorrow. Apart from felicitating her, WDCC members will put forth proposals for the development of railway connectivity in North Dinajpur district.
“We will felicitate her in our office tomorrow. We will also submit a proposal on railway connectivity and other development activities in the district. We will demand that she push for the introduction of a day-time Kolkata-bound train from Radhikapur very soon,” the General Secretary of the WDCC, Shankar Kundu, said.
“Work on the railway link between Buniadpur in South Dinajpur district and Kaliyaganj in North Dinajpur, which was approved around 12 years ago, is yet to begin. We will urge her to start the track construction work immediately,” he added
