Speaking to the media persons after his visit, Majumder alleged that former Chief Minister Samir Ranjan Barman and his family members had tried to create obstruction in the cover drain construction project in front of their house. Majumder said that the government would not tolerate such arbitrary interference and asserted that if required, legal steps would be undertaken against the accused person.
“As you all know, under the Smart City project, construction of cover drains across the city is underway. A cover drain is being built between Orient Chowmuhani to IGM Chowmuhani to protect the city from waterlogging.
However, former Chief Minister Samir Ranjan Barman and his family are creating trouble in the project, which is undesirable. I have instructed the officials not to tolerate any interference in the work for the larger public interest. If required, we will take legal action,” he added.
