Bengal CM Adhikari to hold key four-district administrative review in Malda on June 10

Siliguri, May 29 (UNI) Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari is scheduled to hold a major administrative review meeting involving four districts under the Malda Division at English Bazar town in Malda district on 10 June.
Following the official announcement of the meeting, administrative preparations have already begun across the four districts — Malda, Murshidabad, Uttar Dinajpur and Dakshin Dinajpur. Senior officials have started compiling detailed status reports on various government schemes, ongoing development projects and administrative performances for presentation during the review meeting.
Political and administrative circles are treating the meeting as highly significant, particularly because of the socio-economic and law-and-order sensitivities associated with Malda and Murshidabad districts, both having large minority populations.
