Title - Stir seeking early completion of BG conversion

KARIMGANJ, Aug 8 – The Karimganj district units of the BJP and Yuva Morcha have decided to launch separate movements throughout the Barak Valley for quick implementation of the BG and Mahasadak projects.
The BJP and Yuva Morcha units will commence their mass movements from August and September respectively. This was disclosed here by district BJP president Rathindra Bhattacharjee and Yuva Morcha district president Kishore De.

Rathindra Bhattacharjee said that the district committee in its meeting held on July 27 adopted a few resolutions. In an important resolution, the district BJP decided to commence a mass movement throughout the valley for early completion of the two projects.

Bhattacharjee added that earlier the Railway Ministry had assured that within March, 2014, the execution of the BG line construction works would be completed, but now the Railway Ministry is unwilling to complete the project on time.

According to the president of the Karimganj BJP, workers of the party are going to stage an agitation in front of Karimganj, Badarpur, Nilambazar, Patherkandi, Chandkhira and Dullavcherra railway stations, demanding quick implementation of the Lumding-Silchar BG project. Besides, they will bring to the notice of people the alleged negligence of the Central and State Governments in completing the construction works of the Silchar-Saurashtra Mahasadak project.

With a view to exerting pressure on both the Central and State governments for quick implementation of the two mega projects, the Karimganj district committee of the BJP has launched a month-long agitational programme like organising public meetings at various places in the district. The BJP leaders of Karimganj district are trying to bring Dima Hasao under the movement.

The Karimganj BJP and Yuva Morcha units also commenced a special drive to strengthen the party at the grassroot level. The district BJP president, Rathindra Bhattacharjee said that national vicepresident of BJP SS Ahluwalia is expected to visit Karimganj and participate in a workers’ conference to be held in the last week of this month.

Yuva Morcha district president Kishore De disclosed that 65 per cent of the total voters are youths. Hence the Yuva Morcha has taken a few steps to attract the youths. The Morcha also started a membership drive and has fixed a target to enrol 10,000 youths within October.
