Tired of Uncertainty Surrounding TMC MP KD Singh's Alchemist Workers Gherao DM Office

Sanyukta Sangarsha Samity a unified group of trade union workers from the Alchemist Group originally owned by Trinmool Congress Rajya Sabha MP KD Singh yesterday gheraoed the Darjeeling DM Office.

For the past many months workers from Dhootrey, Balasun, Tongson, Sumripani, Peshok, Miling and Kalej Valley have continued to live in uncertainty over who actually owns the garden and who is expected to pay the workers their due. Since October of 2015 TMC MP KD Singh's Alchemist group has failed to pay the workers their wages, ration, bonus and gratuity on time, and in the midst of it all the Alchemist group said the company has been sold to a Hongkong based Trident Company. However, neither the Alchemist nor the Trident group are currently claiming ownership, and there is ambiguity surrounding which company is supposed to pay the workers their due.

Tired of requesting and pleading to the authorities, yesterday the workers gheraored the DM office with empty bowls demanding clarification and clearing of the dues.

The workers have taken strong exception of the fact that neither the GJM, nor the local MLA Amar Singh Rai or the Darjeeling MP SS Ahluwalia have spoken a word in favour of the workers.

It is tragic that when the workers arrived at the DM office, there was no one to listen to their plea, as the DM was away and no officer from the DM office bothered to listen to their woes. The workers however managed to submit a deputation to the ADM and demanded that their dues be cleared at the earliest.

The complete apathy and indifference towards the plight of the tea garden workers, not just on the part of TMC or Bengal government, but also on the part of GJM, local MLA and MP is appalling.

May be its high time that the people of Darjeeling supported the tea garden workers to ascertain their rights and fight for justice for our brothers and sisters in the tea gardens.

Flight carrying Mamata Banerjee denied permission to land despite low fuel: Opposition demands enquiry in Parliament

Leader of the party in Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, along with senior leaders of Opposition parties today demanded explanation from the Union Minister of Civil Aviation after a flight carrying Mamata Banerjee was denied landing despite low fuel last night at Dumdum airport.

In Lok Sabha, Sudip Bandyopadhyay said, “The government must ensure the well-being and security of Mamata Banerjee. Her life is under threat. There must be full enquiry into the incident.”

Calling this “ultra-authoritarianism”, Derek O’Brien said in Rajya Sabha, “Why was the aircraft denied permission to land? This is suspicious. If this is happening to one Opposition leader today, it can happen to any other Opposition leader tomorrow.”

Opposition leaders demand inquiry

Leaders of all Opposition parties, led by the Leader of Opposition, Shri Ghulam Nabi Azad, expressed their concern and demanded a thorough inquiry into the incident. The other speakers included Ram Gopal Yadav (SP), Mayawati (BSP), Sharad Yadav (JDU), Prem Chand Gupta (RJD), TK Rangarajan (CPIM), Navneetha Krishnan (AIADMK) , Tiruchi Siva (DMK), Rajeev Shukla (INC), KTS Tulsi (Nominated).

KTS Tulsi, who is also a senior lawyer, suggested an FIR of attempt to murder ought to be registered for endangering lives of people.

The incident

Bengal Chief Minister was travelling back to Kolkata from Patna on an Indigo flight (6E-342).The scheduled departure time from Patna was at 6:35 PM and the scheduled arrival time to Kolkata was at 7:35 PM.

The aeroplane was coming from Lucknow and was already delayed and it left Patna for Kolkata at 7:35 PM. At 8:05 PM, the aeroplane was 180 km away from Kolkata. The pilot informed the passengers that it will take 15-20 minutes more for touchdown as seven other flights were waiting to land and his flight will land as the eighth one.

After circling over Kolkata for 32 minutes, the plane finally landed at 8:45 PM. The pilot informed air traffic control at 8:13 PM that fuel was very low and sought permission to land repeatedly thereafter.

Police, fire brigade and ambulance were deployed near the runway in case of emergency or crash landing.

Bengal Govt takes up schemes to make educated unemployed youth self-reliant

The state Self Help Groups department has chalked out several schemes to rope in educated unemployed youth up to the panchayat level to make them self-reliant.

The State Self Help Group Minister said it has been decided to set up offices in 37 sub-divisions in nine districts. Officials of the Self Help Group department will function to reach to panchayat level.

Muktidhara is a pet project of Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee to bring an overall development of the Self Help Groups in the state and the steps taken by the minister of the department would let people from the grassroot level to derive the benefits of the Muktidhara scheme.

The plan of the state Self Help Group department is to set up five to ten Self Help Groups (SHG) in each panchayat. There would be around 10 youth in each of the SHG. The State Government will be providing all sorts of help and support to the SHGs.

With the youth forming SHGs they would also become eligible to get loans at a minimum rate of interest which would help them increase the volume of their business.

The department would also help them in selling their produce directly to exporters without intervention of any middlemen. It would help them to get right price for their produce.
