Gorkhaland Territorial Administration
chief executive Bimal Gurung today inaugurated a four-day long Krishi
Mela at Rangbhang Bishnudham Paryatan Kendra while assuring the people
of developing the entire region under the GTA. He said the council will
make proper use of funds allotted by the central government and prove it
to be the ideal option towards attaining statehood.
Gurung also claimed the GTA will
generate enough employment opportunities for youths along with ensuring
development of the region. He said the Darjeeling hills will become
transformed into a self-sufficient region.
“I am only going to concentrate on
development of the region. I will not care about allegations from the
opposition,” announced the GTA chief.
He further said the GTA has already set
aside Rs23 crore for the promotion of tourism in Mirik. He expressed
dismay about the recent switchover of party affiliation by some of his
party supporters, while appealing to GTA sabhasads to work with honesty
for the development of the region.
The Krishi Mela has stalls set up by
government, non-government and self-financed agencies among others. The
fair will also showcase cultural programmes by representatives of the
tourism department from Mirik, Nagari and Pokhraybong. The opening day
of the Mela saw the participation of a large number of visitors from
Mirik and its neighbouring areas.(EOI)
