The memorandum requests government to sanction the road under a new package from Rowa to Udalguri.The union also request government to declare Bhairabkunda, Udalguri and Samrang as Trade Centre for international promotion of commerce and tourism between India and Bhutan.Thirdly,the memorandum said that People of BTC had been deprived of constitutional fundamental rights by not able to exercise their voting right to select local Panchayat members,as Panchayatiraj system has not been implementing here in BTC but VCDC representatives are selected by ruling parties.
In the absence of Panchayat system,funds never reach village people, misappropriated by brokers or diverted to other departments.Journalist union urged government to introduce Panchayat system in BTC.Lastly,under Didayal Bidyutikaran Yojana and Rastriya Krishi Sichai yojana,people of Udalguri have been suffering as there is no office or officers in Udalguri and everything being controlled or supervised by neighboring Darrang district office from Mangaldai.Full time offices at Udalguri will serve the people better.UDJU requested government to establish separate offices at Udalguri.
