Chief Minister Miss Mamata Banerjee today claimed that her government’s initiative in restoring peace in Junglemahal, erstwhile Maoist hotbed, has become a model in the entire country. “It is a success story. Our government has been able to restore peace in Junglemahal with not a single death reported so far this year. What has not happened in any other part of the country has happened in West Bengal. Peace has returned to Junglemahal”, Miss Banerjee said while inaugurating the three-day Junglemahal Utsab from a programme held at Midnapore College Ground today.
Claiming that hundreds of people were killed every year during the former Left Front regime, she said “Now there is no death. People want development and peace and not violence.”
“I thank the people of Junglemahal for their support in bringing peace,” she said.
Before inaugurating the Utsab, Miss Banerjee distributed prizes to the winners of the Junglemahal Cup football tournament and kabaddi competition winners. Amidst the presence of several renowned players like Soma Biswas, Goutam Sarkar, Subrata Bhattacherjee and Biswajit Palit, Miss Banerjee gave motorcycles and scootys for best players to the boys and the girls respectively from the three districts (West Midnapore, Bankura and Purulia) for five different games.
A total of 34711 players from five police districts of Junglemahal took part in the Junglemahal Sports and all players were awarded.
Speaking to the gathering, Miss Banerjee announced that her government would give Rs 1 lakh each to 600 police stations across the state for the development of sports and games. Claiming her positive effort to excel the local talents in sports and games, Miss Banerjee said, “We have already given Rs 2 lakh each to 4000 clubs across the state and I will also sanction the same amount as a grant each to more 2000 clubs in the coming year. Each clubs will receive Rs 1 lakh for the next three consecutive years”.
To encourage the tribal folk culture, Miss Banerjee awarded 440 musical troops with a set of musical instruments.
Referring to her promise to absorb youths from Junglemahal in the police, the chief minister said 30,000 youths have been given employment in the Police, National Volunteer Force and Home-guard posts.
