Announcing a Raft of New Welfare Measures
JALPAIGURI: Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday executed what political observers are calling a strategic masterstroke in North Bengal ahead of the 2026 Assembly elections, by distributing land lease documents (pattas) to thousands of tea plantation workers and announcing a raft of new welfare measures.
At a massive government distribution programme held at the ABPC Ground in Jalpaiguri, the Chief Minister inaugurated and laid foundation stones for 194 projects worth Rs 400 crore in Jalpaiguri district. 104 projects worth Rs 247 crore were inaugurated, including the renovation of the Devi Chaudhurani Temple at Sikar Pur, a new sub-market yard at Belakoba, Lataguri Girls' High School, a tourism hotel building and a minority students' hostel at Kranti. 90 projects worth Rs 142 crore had their foundation stones laid, including embankment work along the Teesta in Rajganj. The Chief Minister handed over 11,600 pattas and unveiled multiple initiatives spanning housing, agriculture, employment, tourism and disaster relief.
