The state administration handed over an appointment letter for the post of homeguard to the wife of deceased DYFI leader Maidul Islam Middya in Bankura’s Kotulpur on Friday.
Maidu Islam Middya a unit secretary of DYFI, died in Kolkata on Monday. The DYFI leader had allegedly suffered injuries during Nabanna Abhijan when Left supporters and police clashed in Kolkata on February 11.
Minister of state and TMC’s Kotulpur MLA Shyamal Santra, along with Bankura DM K. Radhika Aiyar and officials went to Maidul’s home at Chorkola village in Kotulpur on Friday to hand over the appointment letter to Aleya Biwi in the presence of hundreds of villagers.
“Within five days of the assurance of our Chief Minister , we have handed over the appoint letter to the wife of Maidul Islam Middya. She will join duty at Kotulpur police station as a homeguard soon. We are happy to have been able to help the family consisting of Maidul’s wife and mother and his three daughters,” said Shyamal Santra.
Shyamal Santra, however, said: “We had to appoint her as homeguard as she needed a job near her house. There is a police outpost around 1.5km away from her village and we will request that she is posted there.”
After receiving the appointment letter, Aleya thanked Mamata Banerjee for the employment. “I want to thank our chief minister as the job will help us survive. I hope the government will be with us in future,” she said.
