AGARTALA, July 28 (TIWN): BJP received a major jolt, after allegation came against the party for releasing false data regarding property tax. BJP’s calculation was not at all satisfactory and in BJP Press meet media attacked on BJP spokespersons for publishing wrong information via press release. That time BJP said due to the confusing AMC notification, all these misunderstandings are happening.

 However, a social unit on Thursday has also claimed the same. Socialist Unity Centre of India (SUCI) has protested before Agartala City centre demanding a fresh notification. Moreover, they also said AMC has failed to circulate the facilities in whole Agartala and thus the tax increase has no logic.

 From Street light to dustbin nothing is there in many areas of Agartala. In many wards, drinking pure-water facility is not also available.

 The protest held before City Centre at 12 pm. In that protest Arun Bhowmik delivered his speech and after the tally a 4 member team placed deputation to the Mayor of AMC.

 It was written on AMC Notification like that ---“For A category property zone as per lowest randomly selected property values, it comes Rs. 520.80/- as per square feet. Hence  10 % proportion faction for unit area value is considered as Rs. 50. (For Kolkata this fraction has been taken as Rs. 85).

 Question arises why AMC has to tell in Website that ‘for Kolkata it’s Rs. 85?’ Is the living standard of both of the places are same? How much difference between Mamata-Manik Govt.’s pay scale—AMC would study that first.

 They also mentioned how AMC is comparing the value of land with Kolkata, which has no logic at all.

According to their demands :

1.     In no excuse the property-tax hike should be held,

2.     The proposal of Tax increasing would be fully cancelled,

3.     To publish a fresh (Clear) tax proposal,

4.     Increased AMC areas to be facilitate with proper benefits of AMC,

5.     Without service no tax can be taken,

6.     To allot road, and Pakka drain in all areas,

7.     To provide dustbins in every areas,

8.     To maintain the hygiene of the AMC area etc.
