(xv) Need to revive Hindustan Fertilizer Corporation Ltd. At
Durgapur in West Bengal
SK. SAIDUL HAQUE (BARDHMAN-DURGAPUR): The Urea producing plant
of Hindustan Fertilizer Corporation Ltd situated at Durgapur in West Bengal was
closed during the year 2002-2003. There is a growing demand of urea all over the
country. Various exercises for revival of the closed unit have been made since last
4 years, with no result. Hence, I urge upon the Government to revive the Durgapur
unit of HFCL.
(xvi)Need to declare Teesta River Project as a National Project
and expedite its completion
SHRI PRASANTA KUMAR MAJUMDAR (BALURGHAT): The North Bengal's
Economy largely depends on agriculture and tea. Land is fertile. If we provide
irrigation facilities, these areas will become prosperous. Many rivers such as
Teesta, Torsha, Jaldhara, Mahananda, Kulik, Aetrya, Panarbhata, etc. flow over
the North Bengal zone. Teesta Project has been launched many years ago but the
project has covered only very little areas. The project has faced many difficulties.
The people of North Bengal have heard many times from daily newspapers,
T.V. and through other sources that Teesta Project has been taken over by the
Central Government. But, now we see that not a single penny has been allocated
for Teesta Project. The Teesta Project is the lifeline of North Bengal and also of
the State of Sikkim. So, I demand from Union Government that Testa Project
should be declared as National Project and the work of the Project should be
completed immediately.
