State govt's 6 year completion: Tableaux flagged off from Nabanna

The state government, under the leadership of Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, has ensured overall harmonious development among the different social and religious sections during the past six years, said the state Finance minister Amit Mitra. The programme, based on the theme of "Akotai Sampriti" (unity is harmony) to mark the completion of the sixth year of the Mamata Banerjee government started with the state Education minister, Partha Chatterjee and Finance minister, Amit Mitra flagging off tableaux in front of Nabanna.

The tableaux were flagged off exactly at 1.01 pm by the ministers from in front of the state secretariat. At the same time, District Magistrates flagged off similar tableaux in every district. It was at 1.01 pm on May 20 in 2011 when the Chief Minister had taken oath after putting an end to 34 years of CPI(M) misrule. The programme will continue for a month and 30,000 folk artists will be performing in it. Mitra said during the programme that massive developmental work has taken place in the state in the past six years and the work that has been undertaken will be highlighted in the one-month-long programme that started on Saturday. "Besides the developmental works, our government has also assured harmony and a

better environment in the state," he said.

Chatterjee, who was also present at the programme, said: "We had taken oath for the second time on May 27, 2016 and we have taken all the necessary steps to serve people. We were always with the people of Bengal and despite financial constraints, massive developmental work has been done. On the completion of the sixth year of the government, people at the grassroot level will be made more aware about the different development projects through the tableaux and the artists who will be performing in the one-month long programme."
