Bengal govt to run two flagship schemes in parallel for next two months
Chief Secretary Manoj Pant on Tuesday chaired a virtual meeting from state secretariat Nabanna with all the district magistrates and outlined the implementation strategy for the welfare schemes — 'Duare Sarkar' (government at the doorsteps) and 'Amader Para, Amader Samadhan' (our locality, our solution), he said.
Kolkata, Jul 23 (PTI) The West Bengal government on Wednesday decided to simultaneously run two of its flagship outreach programmes over the next two months, with an aim to ensure delivery of services and swift resolution of local issues at the grassroots level, an official said.
'Each of these sessions will be attended by district-level officers, Block Development Officers (BDOs), local administration, and elected public representatives,' the official said, adding that residents from the three nearby booths will be invited to attend and discuss issues affecting their locality.
The 'Amader Para, Amader Samadhan' initiative specifically targets local civic and infrastructural grievances — from street lighting and water supply to other essential amenities while the 'Duare Sarkar' camps will focus on enrolling eligible citizens into various government welfare schemes and resolving cases where families have been deprived of such services, he said.
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Tuesday launched the 'Amader Para, Amader Samadhan' programme aimed at addressing issues in various localities in the state.
The Rs 8,000-crore project will commence on August 2 and be completed within 60 days. PTI SCH ACD

'There Was One More MP': CBI Cites Vijay Mallya To Oppose Karti Chidambaram's Travel Plea
Last Updated: CBI said that the agency has genuine concerns, which is why it prefers that Chidambaram seek permission each time he wants to travel The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Friday opposed Congress MP Karti Chidambaram's request to ease his bail conditions to allow foreign travel, citing the example of Vijay Mallya. The case was heard by Justice Ravinder Dudeja of the Delhi High Court. Representing the CBI, Special Counsel Anup S. Sharma referred to Mallya without naming him directly. 'There was one more MP, from Kingfisher. He is today in the UK," Sharma said, warning that easing travel restrictions could pose risks. Senior Advocate Siddharth Luthra, appearing for Chidambaram, argued that the Congress MP is not a flight risk. 'He is an MP, he is not going to be an MP of the UK. Even today, he is attending Parliament," Luthra said, asking the court to allow more flexibility for Chidambaram to travel abroad, Bar and Bench reported. In response to Sharma's concerns, the court asked, 'If one person has run away, do you think everybody will run away?" Sharma replied that the agency has genuine concerns, which is why it prefers that Chidambaram seek permission each time he wants to travel. Following the submissions, the court agreed to advance the hearing date to 10 September, instead of the earlier scheduled date of 16 October. The case relates to the INX Media scandal, in which the CBI alleges that in 2007, when P. Chidambaram was the Finance Minister, INX Media received irregular approval for foreign funding worth Rs 305 crore. Karti Chidambaram was arrested in the case and later granted bail in March 2018, with conditions including a ban on international travel without court approval. In his application, Chidambaram said he frequently travels abroad and has always followed court rules. He asked for permission to travel without restrictions to countries like the UK, USA, France, Germany, Italy, and Spain, which he visits often. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
