Sukhendu Sekhar Ray made a Special Mention in the Rajya Sabha on 21.12.22 for the restoration of public immigration service at Mahadipur in Malda district
Sir, public immigration service at Mahadipur Immigration Check Post in Malda District of West Bengal for movement of common citizens, such as tourists, patients, exporters and importers of both India and Bangladesh was suspended in the wake of Covid-19 pandemic. While many other International Immigration Check Post bordering Bangladesh have since been opened for movement of immigrants following phenomenal improvement of Covid situation, the Immigration Check Post in Mahadipur in Malda District of West Bengal has not yet resumed the Immigration services. I would therefore, urge upon the Government to initiate appropriate steps so that the severe constraints being confronted by the local immigrants are removed and there is resumption of pre-Covid immigration services at Mahadipur Immigration Check Post without any further loss of time.
