Protests Loom as Land Development Threatens Industrial Heritage in Bishnupur
In a meaningful political development, Soumitra Khan, the BJP MP from Bishnupur, has issued a stern warning against any attempts to promote real estate on industrial land. This land, once home to a fertilizer factory established over 40 years ago during the Left Front era, has remained abandoned for years. Local residents are now raising alarms about new promotional activities taking place on this historically significant site.
The fertilizer factory, which once thrived, has long ceased operations, leaving the land in a state of neglect. However, recent reports suggest that real estate developers are eyeing this prime industrial land for new projects, igniting concerns among the local populace. Khan has vowed to stand with the community, promising that any encroachment on industrial land will not be tolerated. He emphasized the need for a united front, hinting at a large-scale movement if necessary. This situation highlights the ongoing struggle between development and preservation, as locals seek to protect their industrial heritage while navigating the pressures of modern real estate ambitions.
