  • THE WATER BODY IS CALLED ITKHOLAPUKUR. WHY THESE WATER BODIES ARE CALLED ITKHOLAPUKUR --- THE REASON THAT ALL THESE WATER BODIES ARE THE END RESULT OF CLAY LIFTING FROM THESE AREAS FOR MAKING BRICKS FOR THE BRICKFIELDS OWNED BY TIWARIES. THE BRICKFIELDS WERE IN OPERATION TILL 1962 IN SODEPUR CHANDITALA AREA. THESE TWO UNFILLED ITKHOLAPUKUR ARE BEING USED BY THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE OF THE NEIGHBORING AREA THEREFORE THESE WATER BODIES CANNOT BE CALLED AS RAMKRISHNA PARK PUKUR..
  • HC wants a wetland policy soon. Asia Africa Intelligence Wire| August 27, 2005 | COPYRIGHT 2003 Financial Times Ltd. (Hide copyright information)Copyright (From The Statesman (India)) Our legal correspondent KOLKATA, Aug. 26 Calcutta High Court today directed the West Bengal government to declare the states policy with regard to preservation of wetland and creation of industrial zones in wetland areas within four weeks. The Division Bench of the Chief Justice, Mr VS Sirpurkar and Mr Justice Asok Ganguly, passed this order during the hearing of a writ petition and seven other applications about filling of two large water bodies in the Ghola area in North 24-Parganas. A writ petition had been filed by Mr Santi Roy alleging that two water bodies were going to be filled with fly-ash by the CESC through its agent. He also alleged that some factories and residential houses had been built on a part of the said wetland, changing the nature and character of that wetland measuring about 21 acres. One water body is about 14 acres and the other 7 acres. The applications had been filed by some factories challenging the order of the West Bengal Pollution Control Board which had directed the factory owners to shift the factories. The PCB had also directed the CESC not to fill the water bodies with fly-ash. Against that order of the PCB the industries had preferred an appeal to the appellate authority of the PCB. The appellate authority had confirmed the order of the PCB. Against the order of the appellate authority, dated 26 September, 2003, the industries and the CESC had moved the High Court. Today the High Court directed the parties to maintain status quo till the matter came up for hearing after the Puja vacation. Mr Manick Das with Mr Subrata Banerjee appeared for the PCB. Mr Anindya Mitra appeared for the CESC. Mr Surajit Samanta appeared for the industries. Mr Rabilal Maitra, Government Pleader and Mr Soumitra Dasgupta appeared for the state.
