CITY BUS IN COOCH BEHAR

Goswami turns Jaigaon Chairman

State Trinamul Congress general secretary Mr Mihir Goswami became the chairman of the Jaigaon Development Authority. Mr Goswami, who is an ex-MLA, said, "As desired by the honourable chief minister I have been assigned to take over the charges of the chairman of Jaigaon Development Authority." He sought active co-operation from all for all-out development of Jaigaon that is adjacent to Bhutan. 


City bus service in Cooch Behar

Cooch Behar is going to get the much awaited city bus service from 1 August. The decision has been adopted at a meeting of North Bengal State Transport Corporation (NBSTC) officials with its chairman Mr Rabindra Nath Ghosh and managing director Mr Don Bosco Lepcha. The meeting was held at Paribahan Bhavan in Cooch Behar on Tuesday.  

The NBSTC chairman told the media persons that at the first phase the proposed city bus service would be extended to different areas of the town including Hospital Chowpathi, Court Morh, Gunjabari and Marapora-dighi. Two NBSTC buses would be pressed into the service. Commuters from all walks of society would be benefited by the facility, as the fare would be Rs 5 only per head. If the city bus service proves successful it would be widened to the outskirt areas of the town in near future, he assured.

The NBSTC plan has been welcomed by many including 'Concern for Cooch Behar', as it was a long-standing demand of the citizens.
