Happy about new block, Jalpaiguri citizens offer state free land for offices Kunja Kishore Roy, a resident of Kranti Bazaar area, and 11 others, handed over a declaration in writing to the district magistrate that they were offering land to the state government for free
Any government knows how difficult it is to acquire land for public projects these days, even in exchange for cash and jobs. However, a completely different scene unfolded at the district magistrate’s office in Jalpaiguri on Tuesday.
Twelve residents of Kranti under Malbazar subdivision met district magistrate Moumita Godara Basu to say that they were ready to part with their land free of cost for the construction of the office of the block development officer (BDO) and other state government offices needed at the block level.
