Non-political initiative to develop Dinhata
A non-political organisation came out for all out development of Dinhata sub-division of Cooch Behar district.
In a recent meeting held at Nripendra Narayan Memorial Library Hall, the Dinhata Unnayan Nagarik Mancha adopted a decision to organise popular movements in the greater interest of long-felt development of Dinhata. Eminent citizens like Mr Chandan Sengupta, Mr Sunil Das, Mr Shyamal Chaudhury, Mr Bhabani Sankar Agarwal and Mr Narayan Sarkar attended the meeting.
DUNM sources said they would mobilise public opinion towards setting up of a blood bank, a new college, reopening of the abandoned International Check Post (ICP) at Gitaldaha, construction of a road-bridge over Singimari river and revival of the railway facility to connect Cooch Behar with Kolkata through Bangladesh.
The convenor of the DUNM, Mr Jaygopal Bhaumik alleged that there was no full-fledged blood bank at Dinhata and so the relatives of serious patients have to rush to Cooch Behar crossing a distance of about 26-kilometre to collect blood. Many times they have to suffer due to presence of racket of middlemen. A few years back a blood storage centre was introduced at Dinhata sub-divisional hospital but that is now almost a non-functional one, he alleged. He demanded revival of that blood storage centre and establishment of a full-fledged blood bank at Dinhata.
In the meeting the speakers emphasised on getting back the abandoned ICP at Gitaldaha to ease journey between India and Bangladesh. They also spoke on the long felt need to make a road bridge over Singimari to connect Dinhata with Sitai. Reintroduction of the railway facility between Cooch Behar and Kolkata via Gitalgaha through Bangladesh was also got adequate importance in the discussion as they felt the railway facility would be effective to reduce the time of journey and it would be beneficial to improve trade and commerce scenario in the region. An additional college and a polytechnic are also needed for the students of this large sub-division, they observed.

sounds good.....Dinhata Unnayon Nagarik Mancha. The proposals they gave are all equally important. Health service needs to be revived. And most importantly I think if international check post at Gitaldaha is reopened ,dinhata will come up as a booming commercial town.
