State government takes over road at Visva-Bharati
Three days after chief minister Mamata Banerjee’s announcement at the Birbhum administrative review meeting, the state government on Friday formally took back control of a 2.9km road connecting the Visva-Bharati campus in Santiniketan to Sriniketan.
“Today, we took back the control of the road that the chief minister had announced at the administrative meeting,” said Vijay Bharti, the Birbhum district magistrate.
In her administrative meeting in Bolpur on December 28, Mamata accepted the plea of Santiniketan residents who had wanted the government to take back control of the road that it had handed over to Visva-Bharati in 2017.
