You can always contact Mr. Debashis Sen, IAS, Chairman Hidco, in his blog or in his email address.

Guys, can anyone please update on Rosedale project. I am hearing from various sources that promoters of this project have no money to complete it. Because of lack of money they also raised additional housing structure- named it executive- building right inside the Rosedale compound which was not a part of original project plan.

from PS blog:

In the citizen meet, there have been complaints that in the area near DLF building, the roadside makeshift stalls selling food items create a problem for the residents.We are creating a food court only a few hundred metres away. I had seen such a food court in Singapore where various small vendors make snacks of various types under one large roof. Here is a picture of the site which I visited recently:

I have heard from my friend who has a flat there that tey are not getting gas connection as the occupancy rate is too low. It appears they are in trouble...not sure what is the exact problem. Uniworld opposite it is well established though. Is he price too high?

Didi kampiye dicche. Abu Dhabi teo dekhlam blue and white footpath korche. Didi effect ekhon London theke Abu Dhabi. Sky is blue and limitless.

BTW oi chobi ta New Town er. Action area I. June 13th inaugurate hobey.

The problem is if they make these stalls and allocate it to the illegal footpath grabbers, a new wave of footpath grabbers will come in.

Yes, this is like giving compensation to encroachers, an open invitation for more hawkers to come and grab footpath. Stalls should be given on first come first serve basis, with a monthly fee and a yearly contract.

An IAS officer tries to remove some hawkers from footpath and accomodate them in a food court. We need to criticize that as well !!!!

So what do we want? Ideal case is hawkers are forcefully removed and that everybody knows will never happen in Bengal.....So isnt this the right thing to do? Should we not wait and see if the administration is strict enough to stop hawkers from coming again and then criticize?

Or is it because something positive is happening in Mamata regime and we need to criticize?

Maybe it can set up Footpath Banchao Committees in all paras. Action Area I Footpath Banchao Committee sounds nice as a starter.

As if Supremo cares two hoots about any criticism. A newspaper close to Supremo reported today that she has claimed completion of 5 years worth of work in one and half years. Apparently she has no work remaining. With that kind of overachievement only fools will dare to criticize her.

I am not criticising the move to build food stalls, but why not advertise it and ask professional people to apply. It can become like a food street of NT. My point is why the illegal encroachers are being given so much importance? If we keep giving them so much importance, they will start blackmailing using political patronage. Every time they encroach they will ask for rehabilitation and compensation. If they can't be kicked out, keep an open vat near their shops.

This proposed food park is bang opposite my apartment; and all this while, I was informed that this is an upcoming market!

I totally agree with Niladri. Why are encroachers given the facility of food parks. Secondly, we all know that once the encroachers move into the food parks, new hawkers will occupy the emptied footpaths.

I do not know if any of you know... Gariahat after operation sunshine a market was built for hawkers by the hawkers, Shatadeep. Hundred hawkers shifted there but now that very hawker market is blocked and overshadowed by a hundred new hawkers right at their doorstep.

I think we are reaching a point where encroaching will be a new investment scheme which will give handsome returns.. move over chit funds!
