Mamata to place 4 point demand to PM 

 

**********************************************************

Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee is going to discuss four point demands before the Prime Minister Manmohan Singh during their meeting on Wednesday in Delhi.

The demand includes a financial bailout package for the state, GTA implementation issue and development package for Darjeeling, and most importantly opposing National Counter Terrorism Center (NCTC).
The CM stated that the state will demand fund for transforming Darjeeling into an international tourism center. The state is not in a financial condition to allot fund as it is paying more than Rs 22000 Crore as an interest for its huge debt .
In this regard Sultan Ahmed pointed out  that state is having total debt of Rs 2 lakh 400 Crore and the present fund of the state is being utilized for paying interest.

 

Chief minister is also going to discuss GTA issue before the Prime Minister and will query about the reason behind the delay on implementing GTA in Darjeeling.

 

She will also discuss  repairing of two Swiss gates of Farakka Barrage.Due to these cracks in the gates, more quantity of water is flowing to Bangladesh than its alloted quantity, thus  creating a water crisis situation in West Bengal.

 

Chief Minister opines that if the barrage is not repaired at the earliest then the Hooghly River may dry up  and that will have a direct impact on power production also.
