Birbhum district in West Bengal witnessed a visit from Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari on Saturday. The Chief Minister held an administrative meeting, during which he discussed a roadmap for Deucha Pachami, a significant festival in the region. Adhikari emphasized the need to construct a lodging facility for middle and lower-middle-class individuals.
The meeting also covered other development projects, addressing grievances raised by the opposition and initiatives undertaken by the current government to benefit Birbhum, a place revered by Tara, Baul, and Rabindranath Tagore.
Before the meeting, Adhikari paid homage at the Tarapith temple, offering prayers. Ahead of the administrative meeting, he visited the revered shrine and extended his respects. The upcoming Kaushiki Amavasya, a lunar night approaching, will witness camps set up within a five-kilometer radius, with ORS water and medical aid provided to devotees. Helicopters will shower petals of flowers upon the gathering.
The Chief Minister expressed deep sorrow over the demise of former Trinamool Congress MLA and Deputy Speaker Dr Ashish Banerjee. Despite this tragedy, Adhikari reiterated the government's commitment to fighting corruption and investigating the Tarapith Rampurhat Development Authority (TRDA). Following the meeting, Adhikari paid a visit to Dr Banerjee's residence, where he inquired about the family's well-being and denied any external provocation from the administration or the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
