Waiting for new development block

Only the announcement is awaited. Yet another development block on the cards in Nazira.

But only after the Lok Sabha polls. Formalities are believed to have reached the final stage. To be named after Sukafa, the new block will help the government go more closer to the people.

The proposed block would be set up by dividing the existing Namti Chapangani gaon of Nazira sub division. It was a long standing demand for the people who have been alleging immense inconvenience for years.  

Schemes meant for the various section of the people have been failing to reach the beneficiaries only because of it.
