CPIM Protests Against Siliguri Municipal Corporation Services

The CPIM party submitted a memorandum at the Ward Number 3 borough office in Siliguri on Saturday to highlight issues regarding municipal service delivery. Members of the party's Area Committee visited the office to formally inform officials about their specific demands and concerns regarding the current state of civic amenities.

Concerns over municipal services

During the visit, party representatives stated that the quality of municipal services in Siliguri has declined significantly. The CPIM alleged that the current management of the Siliguri Municipal Corporation is failing to provide basic facilities to the residents. They stated that the lack of effective administration is causing daily difficulties for the people living in various wards across the city.

Demand for municipal elections

The party members argued that the current system of operating through appointed representatives is not meeting the needs of the public. Consequently, the CPIM has demanded that the Siliguri Municipal Corporation elections be held as soon as possible. They emphasized that the responsibility of the municipal board should be handed over to representatives who are directly elected by the citizens of Siliguri.

Future course of action

Following the submission of the memorandum, the party workers issued a statement regarding their next steps. They declared that if the municipal authorities do not address these public grievances promptly, the party will be forced to launch a larger movement to press for their demands. This report is based on information provided by Hindusthan Samachar regarding the protest held by the local unit.
