SILCHAR, June 13: The Silchar Municipality Board (SMB) swung into action just a day after a case was slapped on them at Silchar Court by Nagarik Swartha Suraksha Sangram Parishad, an NGO.
An SMB led by its Administrator Supriya Dev and strengthened by police and CRP personnel bulldozed the illegally contructed market at the National Highway crossing evicting all the illegal shops. Earlier, on Friday, the Parishad filed a case against SMB at Silchar Court under the clause 15 of Environment Protection Law, 1986 alleging that the civic body had miserably failed to clean garbages in the town.
The Parishad had earlier served a legal notice to the SMB, when Bithika Dev, wife of former Union Minister Sontosh Mohan Dev, was its chairperson. They had fixed a two-month time frame within which the SMB was asked to regularly remove the garbage from the road side. Meanwhile, Bithika Dev was removed from the post of chairperson as directed by the Guwahati High Court and now deputy director of Town and Country Planning Supriya Dev assumed the post of administrator but the scenario is still far from the expected changes. THE SENTINEL
