Assembly standing committee visits industrial complex

 

COOCH BEHAR, Jan. 22: The members of the Assembly Standing Committee on commerce and industries led by Mr Sudip Bandyopadhyay visited functioning of three units at Chakchaka Industrial Growth Centre (CIGC) in Cooch Behar today. The team members also met entrepreneurs at the CIGC complex and heard their problems and demands. On behalf of Industrial Federation of Cooch Behar (IFC) a memorandum was submitted to the team. They held a meeting with officials of district administration at the Circuit House here and inquired about the present situation of industrialisation in this district.

 

Secretary of IFC Mr Depak Mundra said during their discussion with the members of the standing committee on continuation of load shedding free zone status and night mobile service for fault repair at CIGC the divisional engineer of WBSEDCL confirmed that these facilities have become permanent.

 

The owners of several industrial units demanded provision of basic amenities at the CIGC complex like streetlight and drainage system and improvement of road and tele-communication system.

 

In the IFC memorandum it was mentioned that there were two water reservoirs at CIGC but those were demolished during renovation of Cooch Behar Airport for safe landing of aircrafts. CIGC will have to suffer from water crisis if no water reservoir was provided at the complex. As there is no fire fighting arrangement the IFC demanded installing of a Fire Service Station at the CIGC complex. To prevent environment pollution they also demanded demarcation of a land for use as dumping ground in or around the CIGC complex.

 

Mr Mundra said the members of the standing committee heard their points and assured that those will be recommended to the appropriate authorities for early implementation. []
