Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari is scheduled to visit South Dinajpur district on Wednesday for an administrative meeting, marking his first visit to the district since taking office.The visit has prompted heightened preparations by the district administration and security agencies. Suvendu Adhikari is expected to arrive by helicopter at Balurghat Airport.
A day before the chief minister’s scheduled arrival, district BJP president Swarup Chowdhury and district general secretary Bapi Sarkar inspected the airport and the adjoining helipad. They reviewed the arrangements for the helicopter landing, the route the chief minister would take after leaving the airport, convoy movement and other security measures.
According to sources, after landing at Balurghat Airport, Mr. Adhikari will travel to the Baluchhaya auditorium, where he is expected to chair an administrative meeting with district officials.Following the meeting, the chief minister is scheduled to have lunch at the residence of Balurghat’s Member of Parliament and Union minister of state, Dr.Sukanta Majumdar.
The itinerary is then expected to take Mr. Adhikari to Balurghat District Hospital, where he is slated to lay the foundation stone for a proposed medical college.The future of Balurghat Airport is also emerging as an important element of the visit. There are indications that the state government is considering bringing the airport under an earlier project framework and taking steps to restore regular air services from Balurghat.
The airport initiative is expected to receive particular attention during the chief minister’s visit, with local BJP leaders examining the arrangements and the broader situation during their inspection on Tuesday.With the visit combining an administrative review, a proposed medical college project and discussions around air connectivity, Mr. Adhikari’s first trip to South Dinajpur as chief minister is expected to carry both administrative and political significance.
