The NGO, Humanity, joined hands with local residents and
roped in eminent artistes like Shuva Prasanna and Sunanda
Sanyal who took part in the hunger strike.
A total of 115 protesters took part in the hunger strike,
demanding reversal of the allotment and handing of the plot
that allegedly flouted all rules by urban development
minister Ashok Bhattacharya.
"We are not against Ganguly... He is an icon here and he has
spent money for the project and so he is right in his school
project," general secretary of the NGO Amitava Majumdar
said.
But he said the "urban development minister is on a sticky
wicket and has to pay the price."
"We have proof that the original master plan of the plot,
meant for a college, has been manipulated. We have solid
ground and he (Ashok Bhattacharya) is on a turning wicket.
We are strongly determined to stop the project," Majumdar
said.
