Extended Planning Area for Siliguri

I am in Siliguri now. I attended the Board meeting of Siliguri Jalpaigguri Development Authority (even though it is a Sunday). We decided to extend the jurisdiction of the Planning Area so as to include additional areas of Phansidewa and Kharibari. Subsequently I will issue a notification from Kolkata.

I took a tour of the town in the evening. Lots of huge shopping malls (Cosmos, Orbit etc) have come up, I found, and people were thronging in hundreds. It was just like the metro cities. A pity that all towns are losing their character and becoming just like the other.
