Demand for Katigorah sub-division gaining momentum
Special Correspondent
SILCHAR, Feb 8: The demand for upgradation of Katigorah block in Cachar bordering Bangladesh to a sub-division is gaining momentum with intermittent public meetings, rallies and demonstration. At a public meeting held on Saturday under the aegis of Katigorah Development Committee at Katigorah, representatives from various GPs and people in general spoke out in unison about the need to make the block a sub-division which they felt has all the necessary infrastructure. While their legitimate demand is ignored, Lakhipur block in Cachar, Maibong in North Cachar Hills, Gohpur and other blocks in Asom have got the status of sub-division. Speakers regretted to say that the revenue circle stands in need of more attention of the state government for its geographical features and sensitivity been close to Bangladesh.
