As a curtain raiser to the inauguration of Najrul Tirtha on Monday 26th May by CM Mamata Banerjee, Tara News carried a brief story. Tara News doesn't have a streaming video now. So I took my camera and took a short video shot and uploaded in YouTube. Here is the link:

  1. We are very happy for your artistic vision for developing Newtown as one of the modern city of india. Kolkata is still known as dirty city of India. But; we believe that, this will soon be proved wrong. New township at Newtown expected to be the most artistically planned sustainable city to suit cultural heritage of Bengal-India. We hope, renowned investors while visiting Newtown will praise the developmental plan prepared by HIDCO Authority. Newtown will prove that Kolkata also have good taste like other cities and Newtown’s systematic planning can convert graveyard into paradise. 2. But regarding transport planning for metro, kindly note that, metro will evacuate most of the commuters visiting Newtown at either action area I or Action area II. But as per final maps and metro planning of action area I, II , III & IV publish by HIDCO; Principal Secretary’s kind attention is solicited for examination of metro planning for making the transport planning more commuter friendly. It has been seen that action area III & IV has been grossly neglected while planning for metro route. Action area III is devoid of any transportation system, even no metro route has been planned for operation in future in spite of the fact that action area III has been planned for educational hub and IT park of Newtown. 3. It is fact that; locations around action area III has been neglected where many IT industries like Unitech IT park( 50 Acre), TCS( 40 Acre), DLF, Shapoorji Pallonji Infocity( 50 acre), Wipro( 50acre), Infosys(50 acre), Tata Cancer Hospital, Sankar Netralaya, IIT campus, Bengal Engineering & Science University, VECE, St. Xaviers College, IEM,Training Institute for DVC, VTI, Military Management Institute, Judicial Academy and other renowned organisations are coming up. Residential complex like Uniworld City( 100 acre) Rosdale( 16 Acre) are already there in action area III. One 4 lakh sq ft mall of Unitech within Uniworld City is coming up. Once these IT industries become operational it will be difficult for government to undertake metro construction. Hence to provide transport facility to brilliant students as well as employees of IT companies and other secondary organisation metro facility is very much essential. It is further proposed that proper planning be done do that the metro is available round the clock to assist employees of IT companies and students involved in higher studies and research. In this connection following proposal is suggested to incorporate in the above planning. Considering smart developmental plan, E-W Metro be extended from sector V to Bantolla as given below: Sector V Rabindra Tirtha  Unitech’s infospace/ Tata Cancer Hospital  IIT- Rajarhat/ St. Xavier’s College  SP Infocity Infosys/ Wipro Bhojerhat Bantolla Station Around Unitech IT( 50 Ac)/ Rabindra Tirtha= Unitech IT( 50 Acre) , DLF.
