Darjeeling: The vice-chairman of the Gorkhaland Territorial
Administration said on Monday that the Bengal government would set up a
health centre, labour office and a modified ration shop in every tea
garden in the Darjeeling hills.
Anit Thapa, the vice-chairman of
the board of administrators appointed by the Mamata Banerjee
dispensation to run the GTA, said the government would provide every tea
estate with Rs 8.77 lakh to set up a three-storied building.
"The
three floors will house a heath centre, labour office and a modified
ration shop," said Thapa who is currently on a trip to Calcutta.
Thapa
met food minister Jyotipriya Mullick in Calcutta. "Distribution of
rations during the 104-day strike had been a problem. The government has
agreed to release the due rations soon," said Thapa.
