Kharibari, 24th June: Acting on the instructions of Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, Siliguri Mahakuma Parishad Sabhadhipati Arun Ghosh conducted a surprise visit of the Buraganj Gram Panchayat (GP) office in Kharibari on Tuesday.
Ghosh was accompanied by Forest and Land Karmadhyaksha Kishori Mohan Singh during the visit. The team reached the panchayat office in the afternoon to assess the functioning and presence of officials. While the Pradhan was present, the Upa-Pradhan was reportedly absent, along with several other staff members. Panchayat Pradhan Anita Roy acknowledged that some workers had arrived late.
Sabhadhipati Ghosh stated that a few officials were on a field visit and the matter had been discussed with the BDO. He also highlighted that Buraganj, being a remote panchayat, lacks financial deposits in its own funds. The Mahakuma Parishad has assured support to strengthen its functioning.
