IRCTC Canteen in Hidco Bhavan


Yesterday I cut the ribbon to our new canteen at Hidco Bhavan. It is run by IRCTC. Outsiders can come and have food too. It was quite necessary as there is hardly any eating place nearby. Indeed, in a recent land auction, a restaurant had got a great response.
GM IRCTC offered us complementary coffee and snacks to all Hidco officials. I thanked IRCTC and lauded the efforts of Krishnendu Basak, GM(A), Kalyan Sen OSD and GM-I N Sil.

Here is a story that appeared in 365 Din few days ago. The pre-bid meeting will be held next Friday (27th Ap) in Kolkata:

  1. Sir,

    Also came across this article. http://www.thestatesman.net/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=407315&catid=72

    Really great work going on in Digha belt. Really heartening to see that survey work of sewerage and drainage had been completed and a proposal to build up an advanced sewerage and drainage system in Digha has also been sent to the state government.

    So when are we tentatively starting the work?

  2. So any plans of developing tourism in the Sundarban belt?

    For Digha-Snakarpur-MandarMani-Tajpur, I have a suggestion:

    1. Lets widen more roads and try to develop into a big tourist town.
    2. Lets keep dustbin at regular intervals in the beach as well as in the city.
    3. Lets introduce a large number of water sport activities. This will make it really attractive to the tourists.
    4. You can also take a look at the Samukha beach master plan by Orissa Government. http://orissatourism.gov.in/new/Shamuka_Beach_Project_Master%20Plan.pdf

  3. More Questions:

    What are we planning to do to supply potable drinking water to these areas? Do we have any plans of filtering the sea water or supplying purified water from any nearby river?

    Is there any progress on the landing station in Digha?

  5. (a) I had chicken clear soup and two pieces of bread for Rs 22 only yesterday from the new IRCTC canteen. Quite satisfying.
    (b) I had the pre-bid meeting for Ayurvedic Spa and Health Club at Digha. The outcome of the pre-bid meeting will be published in DSDA website soon.

  6. Are we opening the IRCTC canteen for general office-goers in New Town? I think in that case, it will be a big hit and also help IRCTC in generating a good amount of revenue.
