He said that his government has created smaller blocks and districts so that focused attention could be given to address all kinds of challenges and create opportunities to the people.
The Chief Minister said that maximum developmental schemes were implemented through C&RD blocks and expressed confidence that this initiative would enable the Government to take care of the disparities and developmental gaps in the region. Stating that this new block would be the epicenter of many good things to happen, he highlighted on the various developmental works taking place through the region, including the construction of National Highway 127B which would connect Srirampur in West Bengal with the rest of the State through plain belt areas and other road projects in the pipeline.
