Overview
- TMC MP Dev and fellow TMC MP June Malliah attended Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari’s administrative review meeting in Kolaghat and raised the long‑pending Ghatal Master Plan.
- Adhikari told participants he would take the project forward and said funds would be sought in the state budget that is due on June 22, 2026.
- Dev said he pressed the issue as Ghatal’s elected representative, reaffirmed his loyalty to TMC leader Mamata Banerjee, and denied joining any breakaway faction.
- The Ghatal Master Plan calls for dredging riverbeds and strengthening embankments across about 10 major rivers to reduce annual monsoon flooding in the low‑lying Paschim Medinipur area.
- The CM’s public assurance is a political commitment not evidence of spending or work begun and the project will only move forward if budgetary allocation, contracting, and execution follow.
