NBSTC may get an MLA as its chairman
Employees and workers of the North Bengal State Transport Corporation (NBSTC) want an energetic man to lead the organisation to prosperity. It is widely known that the post of chairman is a politically selected one. Earlier, eminent CPI-M leaders like Shibendra Narayan Chaudhury, Manik Dutta and Sudhir Pramanik served the NBSTC as chairmen. Now, the political scenario of the state has changed and a new chairman is required. It is expected that a prominent leader or an MLA may chair the post.
Executive president of the Trinamul Congress dominated workers' union of the NBSTC, Mr Abdur Rahman said that earlier the state government had engaged bureaucrats and senior government officials as chairman and managing director. Many of them had to serve the NBSTC as an additional job. Because of that reason they never took the job seriously and thus the organisation had to suffer.
The NBSTC is the sole transport industry of North Bengal that was initiated in the regime of the Maharajas of erstwhile Cooch Behar State. Local people consider this organisation as their own organisation and this sentiment was never realised by the 'imported' bureaucrats and officials brought from Kolkata. Now, workers and employees expect that the state government should engage an energetic MLA from Cooch Behar district as chairman as its headquarters is situated at Cooch Behar, Mr Rahman said.
Several officials and employees also said that the NBSTC needs an energetic man who feels the pulse of the organisation and its personnel. He should revive the organisation to its past glory and make it popular again.
It is learnt that the new state government already started examining the condition of the NBSTC and is also reportedly considering appointment of an MLA as its chairman. Workers and employees connected with other unions also want the NBSTC to get back to its glorious days leaving behind its financial dependence on the government.

huge demand among all sort of commuters still NBSTC carrying out a business of making loss. I personally suggest, let conductors be practicle and human and axe those who once sold this industry .
The 'SAMUK-KHOLES' are just above your head. Please be cautious Debasish-babu, they may whiten your hairs.
After durbar regime and its childhood days,it was never managed professionally.Always managed and guided by political peoples.Why curse employees for its performances.If a team looses continuously first the coach and captain to be blamed, then selectors now comes the turn of players, my dear.In its case coach and captains are like deities without any fault.Show pure political will first.
