NBSTCEU CONFERENCE

CITU leader attacks Trinamul regime

State CITU president and former Transport minister
Shyamal Chakraborty alleged that several persons had to die due to
irregular pay of salary and pension in North Bengal State Transport
Corporation during the Trinamul led state government's regime. This
was never happened during the Left Front led government, he claimed.
He said this during his inaugural address at the Central Conference of
the NBSTC Employees Union at Netaji Subhas Indoor Stadium in Cooch
Behar. The two-day conference concluded on Monday.

The two-day 24-th Central Conference of the CITU
affiliated NBSTC Employees Union started on Sunday. Ex-ministers
Ananta Roy and Dinesh Dakua, Cooch Behar MP (Rajya Sabha) Tarini Roy
and a number of senior CPI-M and CITU leaders attended the conference.
A procession was also passed through the town to mark the occasion.

During his address Chakraborty congratulated the workers
and employees of the NBSTC for their attendance ignoring threats and
atrocities of the Trinamul Congress. He mentioned the conference as
the first CITU conference in the regime of 'change'. Retorting the
'change' he said that the workers and employees of the corporation and
others are feeling what the actual meawning of 'change' is under
Trinamul rule. Questions are arising whether the state transport
corporations will survive or not. The employees do not know whether
they will be able to get their salaries in next month. Similar is the
condition of the pensioners too, he said. A few men had to die
suffering from starvation or due to lack of proper medical care
following irregular payment of salary and pension. In Left Front days
this was never happened, he claimed. He congratulated the NBSTCEU men
for their struggle.
