SILCHAR, Sept 23 – United Women Forum, a multi-linguistic organisation, recently gathered in front of Cachar Deputy Commissioner’s office and submitted a memorandum – highlighting the drainage and other problems hitting normal life in the town – to the Chief Minister through the Deputy Commissioner.
In the memorandum, it was stated that the roads of Silchar town are in a dilapidated state, and even after many reminders, the administration has not taken any step in this regard. The forum demanded immediate repair and improvement of roads of this town, and stated that the work should be handed over to a competent authority without any political involvement. It has asked for accounts from the Deputy Commissioner about the quantum of fund allotted during the last five years for improvement of roads and its implementation.
The memorandum also stated that for the last three years, the people of this town have been faced with yet another problem. The construction on Master Drainage Project has been responsible for so many accidents to the pedestrians. The drainage system has also proved to be ineffective, a fact reflected by the waterlogging on the roads.
The dustbins installed by the municipality is various locations are also becoming a major problem in the town. The dustbins are placed in front of educational institutions, residential areas, etc., creating health problem for the public. The forum said that it should be resolved as early as possible.
The memorandum further pointed out that if the roads are not repaired before puja, the forum would go for a vigorous agitation involving all sections of communitites. The forum was led by Manashi Singha.
