Police will also be involved to maintain law and order and ensure smooth coordination and implementation.”According to political observers, the government has decided to launch this new programme with an eye on the Assembly elections, due next year.Claiming that ‘Amader Para, Amader Samadhan’ is a first-of-its-kind initiative in the country, the Chief Minister explained, “Many times, we notice that there are small issues — like setting up a tap or an electric pole — that need attention in localities. We have provided electricity to many areas, but by chance, some places may have been left out. For such minor issues, we are taking up this programme.”
