KARIMGANJ, April 24: The Karimganj district Bar Association came down heavily on the Karimganj Municipalty on the Master Drainage Project being constructed now. The Municipality is now being run by the State Government appointed administrator Debarshi Bhattacharjee who happens to be the elected chairman of the Karimganj Municipal Board which completed its full term recently this year.
But, the work of the project as being progressed seems to have disgusted not only the people of Karmganj but also the District Bar Association of Karimganj.
In a memorandum to the Karimganj Deputy Commissioner M Anghamuthu, the Bar Association was constrained to say, “We have no hesitation to say that all these works conducted at the instance of the Karimganj Municpality are of such a low and inferior grade that not only huge amount of public money have been mis-utilised and misappropriated, but it is causing and will cause inconvenience to the people in general.”
When contacted, president of the Bar Association Malikur Rahaman Choudhury told this correspondent of The Sentinel that the Municipality had narrowed down the width of some of the existing drains having 15 feet or so to a merely three feet. It is to be mentioned that with this act, the two main drains, namely Gait Khal and Boalmara Khasl were reduced drastically.
Karimganj district Bar Association secretary Subrato Kumar Paul pointed out that some of the RCC guard walls of the drainage project –near Ramkrishna Mission Road and Redcross Road collapsed within 15 days of construction.
Under these circumstances, he said, we have requested the Deputy Commissioner to stop further progress of the work. Instead of solving the water logging problem of the town, he apprehended, the citizens of the town may face more water logging problem.
In the memorandum submitted on Tuesday last, the Bar Association demanded spot enquiry and to take steps to make all the drains free from encroachment first and then to construct the drains as per the original width of the drains. THE SENTINEL
