NEED FOR ALL ROUND DEVELOPMENT OF DOOARS & TERRAI

Government must address to important issues of North Bengal for its extreme economic imbalances comprising various districts of North Bengal and special package should given for Dooars & Terai region. It is the most underdeveloped region in road connectivity and health infrastructure development. The Dooars region received till now no substantial development, while there are 14 locked-out tea gardens with malaria taking its toll every year.
1. Government must consider the demand of Medical College and an Engineering College at the site of central dooars within jalpaiguri district. North Bengal Industrial Development Corporation at Siliguri is extremely important.
2. The Uttar Banga Unnayan Parshad of North Bengal must get a statutory status with a corpus of Rs.750 crores from Plan allocation for flood management and infrastructure development. If Planning Commission must takes note of it, North Bengal would be a prosperous zone of State of West Bengal to provide enough support to the State of Sikkim and the entire North East since this is the gateway to North East.
3. East-West Corridor should be constructed through NH31C via Malbazar, Birpara and Hasimara.
4. Banahat should be declared as full-fledged BLOCK.
5. Full status of sub-divisional township should be extended to MALBAZAR.
6. Alipurduar should be declared a district. A demand has already been made by the various social organisations to the West Bengal Administrative Reforms Committee to elevate Alipurduar, stated to be the largest sub-division in the country, to a full-fledged district in West Bengal's northern region.
· 'The demand for elevation of Alipurduar sub-division to a district is 40-years-old, which is the largest sub-division, established in 1876, only four sq. Km smaller than the total area of Coochbehar district.
· Even the districts of Howrah, Hooghly, South and North Dinajpur are smaller than Alipurduar, the sub-divisional headquarter of Jalpaiguri district.
· There are six blocks, eight police stations and only one municipality in Alipurduar.
· Having 73,439.6 hectares of forest land, 52,566.4 hectares of tea garden and 49,768.5 hectares of agriculture land.
7. Need to implement Malaria Eradication Programme in Alipurduar Parliamentary Constituency, West Bengal effectively.
Dooars is facing mosquito menace and for the last several years DDT spray has not been done as a result of which on an average four people are dying every year in each village due to malaria. The medicines available in the market are not effective. The genuineness of medicine is also doubtful. Last year, hundreds of people died of malaria in this tribal area. We urge upon the Government to conduct an inquiry, whether the medicines being supplied by the Government is reaching to the people or not and the schemes to prevent these diseases are being properly implemented. The strict action should be taken against officials found guilty.
8. Integrated Separate Power Distribution authority is needed for Dooars because citizens are facing acute shortage of power. There is no any pre- load-shedding timetable. Today un-predicted load shedding is a daily phenomenon of life. Power distribution system should be outsourced and privatized.
