Following a tragic godown collapse in Taratala, senior Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury has urged the West Bengal government to release a white paper detailing illegal constructions in Kolkata.
Senior Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury has called upon the West Bengal government to issue a comprehensive white paper concerning the proliferation of illegal constructions within Kolkata. This demand comes in the wake of a recent, tragic incident where a godown collapsed in the Taratala area.
Chowdhury's statement, made on Friday, specifically links the call for transparency to the Taratala godown collapse, suggesting a broader concern about unauthorized building activities in the city. The Congress leader seeks to understand the extent and regulation of construction projects across Kolkata.
The demand for a white paper indicates a desire for official data and a clear government stance on addressing potentially unsafe and unauthorized structures that may pose risks to public safety.
