Rajarhat road (near Akankha) to NH34

[Avick Chakraborty]

This one is planned to start at the MAR (where it turns right today towards AA-I and Saltlake while coming from Haldiram) near Akankha-Sunrise-Hiland junction (Akankha busstop) and end at NH4 at Madhyagram.

KOLKATA: Bengal housing minister Gautam Deb on Sunday slammed Mamata Banerjee’s Trinamool Congress yet again, accusing it of impeding development activities in New Town.

Deb contended that they were facing problems in the implementation of projects in New Town that involved land. “There may be difference of opinion, but in other states, leaders of all political parties come together when it comes to the question of development. But here, if we ask Trinamool to come to Delhi with us, they refuse to cooperate. It has become a habit for Trinamool to oppose every development project that we are trying to implement here,” he said. Deb pointed out that not only were they facing opposition from a section of Trinamool men to the installation of four electric towers in Chapna mouza, but were also finding it hard to get some land near Bantala to set up a solid waste management ground. “Mamata herself passes through New Town to reach the airport. She wants to extend the Metro routes, whose alignment will pass through New Town. It’s us who have to give her the land,” he said. Meanwhile, finance minister Asim Dasgupta laid the foundation stone for a 5-km, 10-lane corridor connecting the Rajarhat main road to NH-34 near Madhyamgram. The corridor will have three-lane carriageways and two service roads on each side. “According to estimates, around 45,000 cars travel from Chingrighata on E M Bypass to the airport every day. Once the new road comes up, it will help ease traffic movement at the airport junction to some extent by diverting about 20,000 vehicles through this stretch towards NH-34. Also, once this road comes up, areas falling on the route will be developed and around 1 lakh jobs created,” said Dasgupta. A sum of Rs 42.12 crore will be spent to build the road and the work is scheduled to get over within 14 months, said Dasgupta. Around 83.52 acres are required for the project, of which the Hidco authorities have so far acquired 58.48 acres. HRBC has been entrusted with the job of constructing the road. Dasgupta has suggested that toll be collected from heavy vehicles using the corridor and the money collected be used to repair roads in New Town. Dasgupta said the finance department has sanctioned Rs 500 crore for the construction of 5,000 houses in rural areas for the minorities.

Also heard that the electric poles are soon to be erected in Chhapna
mouza. Hopefully, positive things happen soon and we can relocate to
NewTown pretty soon and say goodbye to Bangalore.

Any news on HIG possession?

Sowmik

PS: Anyone from IBM Kolkata around? I need to ask a few questions. :)

Finally we have some good news.
Surprisingly, I had a word with PG last week. He said HIG possession would start in May 2010.

Dear all

I had a discussion with Ms. Sujata Saha followed by one Mr. Tarun Sarkar (a senior of Ms Sujata Saha - as a newly joined GM-Marketing of BS -Mbl: 09830116962) on  13-April

They did not say anything on possession. Probably by end of June they will send letters of / for inspection. I was more interested about probable time required for water and electricity connection. They did not answer me

Best regards
