Kolkata: In a bid to
resolve the dispute over land allotted to Aligarh Muslim
University (AMU) campus in Murshidabad, West Bengal Chief Minister
Mamata Banerjee Monday said the varsity will be provided with 273
acres of land for setting up the institution.
Initially, during the Left Front regime, the Aligarh Muslim
University was allotted 288 acres of land to set up its campus in
Murshidabad district. But later on, problems cropped up over 15
acres of land within the allocated 288 acres over compensation and
some political issues.
"We will not be touching the 15 acres of land within the allotted
288 acres as there have been problems. But apart from those 15
acres the remaining 273 acres is not having any problem," said
Banerjee.
It was due to efforts of former finance minister Pranab Mukherjee
and former chief minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee that AMU decided
to open its campus in Murshidabad.
"It has been decided that the 273 acres of land is enough for
setting up a campus. We will inform the university authorities to
start the work in that land. We will provide all kinds of support
to the university authorities in setting up the campus," said
Banerjee.
Mukherjee, while announcing the union budget 2011, had allotted
Rs.50 crore for the Murshidabad campus of the AMU.
In 2010, Bhattacharjee and Mukherjee had laid the foundation stone
of the Murshidabad AMU campus.
