29 Dec 2012 7:24 AM IST
The West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee seems to have brought cheer to the people of the hills a few days before the New Year.
‘Soon Jalpaiguri and Alipurduar will get district status. We have plans to start a mini Writers’ at North Bengal. I have requested the PM to look into the poor condition of National Highway roads and speed up maintenance process. I love North Bengal and I am committed to the development of this region’, she declared on Friday.
Banerjee said her government is setting up 65 all-woman police stations across the state to tackle crimes against women. West Bengal has seen a number of such incidents in the recent times.
Addressing a rally in Jalpaiguri district in North Bengal, Banerjee said, ‘In Bengal there will be 65 all-woman police stations. Of them ten have already been set up.’
Official sources said the sanctioned strength of the police stations was an inspector, eight sub-inspectors, eight assistant sub-inspectors and 30 constables.
She said that 19 human rights courts and 158 fast track courts have also been set up to deal with such cases.
After becoming the Chief Minister in 2011, Banerjee had announced that to tackle the increasing number of crimes against women, she would set up all-women police stations across
the state.
Earlier in the week Mamata had increased DA for govt employees by 7 per cent.
