Calcutta, Jan. 17 :    Calcutta, Jan. 17:  The Dankuni panchayat area is likely to be turned into a municipality before the Assembly elections. The Bill is getting the final touches before it is tabled in the next Assembly session. The proposed municipality will include the panchayat areas of Dankuni, Mrigala and Monoharpur. CPM leader and chairman of CMDA tender committee, Sudhanshu Sil, said a filtered water supply and a drainage scheme had been taken up for Dankuni. Municipal affairs minister Ashoke Bhattacharaya had inaugurated a Rs 4-crore water supply scheme at Mallickpara in Mrigala. The CMDA had also allotted Rs 73 lakh for developing the road and drainage system in the area. 'We have already started work for the construction of a link road connecting Konnagar and Naity and a concrete bridge on Dankuni khal,' Sil said. The dairy farms in the area would have to be shifted elsewhere to check the pollution of Dankuni khal, he added. A resident alleged that the dairy farms dried up the milk of cows and buffaloes by administering injections and medicines so that they could be easily sold for slaughter in Calcutta.
