Siliguri land designated for Yoga Centre, replacing proposed temple
What happened
The Siliguri Jalpaiguri Development Authority owns 18 acres of land in Siliguri, which is being repurposed for a Mahakal Yoga Centre. The state cabinet approved the project, which will be executed by the Ayush department. This centre will replace a previously planned Mahakal temple site in Matigara.

Land transfer is required for civil enclave development in the region of North Bengal and West Bengal.
