People travelled from districts such as Malda, Farakka, Cooch Behar and Alipurduar to submit grievances. Many said it was the first time they had direct access to a public representative. Teachers, police personnel and ordinary citizens alleged they had been denied justice under the previous administration, with issues ranging from recruitment irregularities to land disputes. Millenniumpost reports that Kaushik Acharya, a teacher from Cooch Behar, said he hoped his concerns would reach higher authorities. MLA Ghosh said matters related to education would be conveyed to the chief minister and that he would try to resolve issues at the earliest. ## Coverage - millenniumpost.in Tags: BJP, grievances, public outreach, recruitment irregularities, Shankar Ghosh, Siliguri Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/huge-turnout-marks-first-day-of-bjp-mlas-outreach-in-siliguri/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
