ABYSA gheraoes SDA office against illegal constructions

SILCHAR, June 1: All Barak Youth Students’ Association (ABYSA) and Swamiji Social Welfare Society today staged a demonstration inside the Silchar Development Authority office demanding immediate action against illegal constructions in the town.

At least 80 youths today gheraoed SDA executive engineer Piyush Kanti Dey and asked for clarification as to why even after serving notices to the owners of the illegal construction, the SDA has not taken any follow-up action. They apprehended foul play behind the issuing of notice and then keeping silence. Dey reportedly argued that it is the duty of the Silchar Municipal Board to act against illegal construction.

But his clarification did not satisfy the body. They also asked if the SDA has no authority to take action, then why do they charge fees on issuing notice after inspecting the sites.

Dey later assured them that final notice would be served against illegal construction within three days. THE SENTINEL
