Silchar Municipal Board chief to be at World Bank meet
>From Our Correspondent Assam Tribune
SILCHAR, March 23 Bithika Dev, MLA and chairperson of Silchar Municipal
Board, is going to attend the 6th conference of the World Bank to be organised
in Greece on March 26 to 28.
Representing Assam, Dev will highlight the problems faced by Silchar town in
the conference. Besides her the Mayor of Chennai, five representatives and
Commissioners of different states will participate.
Dev said that the main reason for her to participate in this conference was to
know how to beautify Silchar town. The town at present is in a very bad shape.
Traffic is always a problem. Dev will consult with experts about the
probability of a flyover. She received the invitation to participate from
Central Ministry of Urban Development.
She further said that the fate of Narshingtola pond, situated in the heart of
the town, was decided by the court and the decision has come in favour of the
Municipality. Some people were thinking to fill up the pond to construct a
market place there. But the Silchar Municipality opposed the proposal. The pond
has emotional attachment among the people of the town. In the morning and
evening, many senior citizens relax near the pond. Many youngsters play there.
The Silchar Municipality is planning to set up a mini park in that area.
Dev further said that a few days back there was a fire in Silchar town which
gutted nearly 30 shops. The Silchar fire brigade was notable to control the
huge fire. She requested Chief Minister to set up a fire station with a huge
capacity. The Chief Minister has already ordered the concerned authority to
earmark funds, she said.
