Swipe at quake relief
Siliguri, Jan. 2.TT: North Bengal development minister Gautam Deb today accused the Centre of discriminating against the state in the release of funds to repair buildings damaged in the earthquake.
He said while the Congress-led government had sanctioned Rs 1,000 crore for Sikkim as relief funds, it did not outlay a single rupee for Darjeeling and Jalpaiguri districts which had also been hit by the tremor on September 18.
