Noted academician and Darjeeling Dooars
United Development Foundation chief Dr. Mahendra P Lama who has been
spearheading activities to garner support for himself in the upcoming LS
elections, today addressed a meeting here at Puhguri Dara Gaon
community hall.
Lama pointed out that even though the Goakha community has served a lot for the country, it has got nothing in return.
Stressing on the need to promote
education in the hills, Lama said education is the primary requisite to
win other rights. He also claimed today’s meeting in Phuguri was the
102nd meeting that he has addressed during his campaign. “I have
visited 102 places in the district and interacted with the people. I
feel that people have become more aware during this period and are
understanding things in their correct sense” Lama asserted.
He said DDUDF has not been formed to
instigate or pull anyone down, but to fight for educational and other
development of the region.(EOIC)
