Calcutta, March 27 :     More than 100 acres of prime khas land in the heart of the city, which has housed Calcutta's administrative hub for about two centuries, will soon be made available for other use, following the state government's decision to shift the district headquarters of South 24 Parganas from Alipore to Baruipur. Chief minister Jyoti Basu told a Left Front delegation from South 24-Parganas on Monday that the shift has already been started. The Front delegation, led by Samir Putatunda and comprising Sujan Chakravorty, Kanti Ganguly, Subhas Naskar and Gokul Chatterjee, placed a 58-point charter of demands before the chief minister for development the district. Although the state government is yet to decide on how to utilise this vast stretch of land and infrastructure that will become free once the shift to Baruipur is made, a PWD spokesman felt some of the offices from Writers' Buildings, New Secretariat Building and other parts of the city might be shifted to vacant premises at Alipore. South 24-Parganas is the only district in the country with its headquarters outside the district boundaries. Alipore has all along been the state government's second-most important administrative centre, outside the Writers'. Prior to the bifurcation of the 24 Parganas, it housed the headquarters of the undivided district. After the division, North 24 -arganas got Barasat as its 'sadar' town and Alipore stayed the headquarters of South 24 -Parganas. Port plan at Kulpi After meeting the chief minister, Kanti Ganguly said the demand for setting up the first atomic power plant in eastern India in the Sunderbans and building a private port at Kulpi also received Basu's nod. The chief minister assured the delegation that he will take up the proposal with Union power minister B. Kumaramangalam in the capital. The Jalans' proposal to set up a port at Kulpi through a private venture has already been cleared by the Centre. A new metalled road will be constructed along the river bank from Budge Budge to Falta for the purpose.
