CM blames railway for bridge delay
The Majerhat bridge could have been inaugurated nine months ago had the railway not delayed providing the necessary permission, chief minister Mamata Banerjee said on Thursday.
“We have been meeting (the railway) every day for nine months seeking clearance for the project. Paye dhoreychhi je clearance dao (Have held their feet seeking clearance),” Mamata said at Nabanna.
“This could have been done nine months back. The railway didn’t give permission at the right time. For over two years people of Behala and south Calcutta have suffered so much.”
The chief minister made the statement on a day some BJP supporters held a rally at Majerhat demanding the opening of the bridge.
