Eco park to come up in Raiganj

Congress led North Dinajpur Zilla Parishad has taken an initiative to open an Eco-park in Raiganj which was constructed next to the Kulick bird sanctuary in Raignaj for tourists about three years ago and its inauguration is still neglected for which the district administration is losing a good amount of revenue and the park has become a hub for anti socials.
Reportedly with an objective to draw the attention of visitors of Kulick bird sanctuary North Dinajpur district administration constructed this park at Manipara in Raignaj,very close to Kulick bird sanctuary after spending nearly Rs 1 crore from the Border Area Development Programme , NREGS, MP Lad, 10 th finance, Uttar Banga Unnayan Parshad , RSVY funds.
North Dinajpur district administration has allegedly failed to inaugurate this park because there was a dispute between the former CPI(M) led North Dinajpur zillaparishad and Congress led Raiganj panchayat samity because both of them demanded the authority of revenue collection for the park.
When asked the Sabhadhipati of Congress led North Dinajpur Zillaparishad Mr Moqtar Ali Sardar said: "This Eco-park was a long standing demand of the tourists as well as the residents of Raiganj.
With an objective to open this park we recently held a meeting asking the authorities of Raiganj panchyat samity who had assured us that they would providing complete cooperation to inaugurate this park . After the formation of the permanent body of our new Zillaprishad, we will hold another meeting with all the officials of the district administration, officials of Raiganj panchayat samity and the officials of local gram panchayat where the date of inauguration of Eco- park will be fixed ,added Mr Sardar.
