Kailashahar, Mar 16. Senior Congress MLA Birajit Sinha on Sunday physically inspected the construction site of the embankments which are being raised as a protective shield from the floods.

Earlier, Sinha had raised the issue in the assembly to express his grave concerns on Bangladesh's move to elevate the height of the embankments which puts the entire Kailashahar under threat of flooding with the onset of Monsoon.

The state government also took Sinha’s statement very seriously and initiated the process of strengthening the infrastructure on the Indian side. After visiting the site, Sinha informed the media persons that the administration should complete the project within the stipulated period of time.

“We have been informed that within 90 days, the project will be completed. We hope it gets completed within the fair time limit. This embankment shall protect the people of Kailashahar from floods. Before the monsoon, we should have this project completed,” said Sinha.

Expressing his resentment against certain elements, Sinha said, “Some agencies have said that some people are trying to obstruct the project. These mafia elements are anti-development. We will take these issues to the notice of administration and stern action should be taken.”
