Last night a marriage ceremony
was started at Goswamipara under Goghat police station at about 10.30 p.m when
a minor girl was forced to wed someone of Chandrokona area under Paschim Medinipur district. All of
a sudden Deputy Magistrate Santiram Gorai in compliance with the order of the
Sub-divisional Magistrate Arindam Niyogi arrived at that place and approached
Mr. Tapan Goswami, the ignorant father of that girl to stop such illegal
marriage. The parents having been fully convinced had given an undertaking that
they would allow their daughter to be educated and self reliant before
attaining her marriageable age. A peaceful enforcement of an essential law to
eradicate the juvenile marriage had completed by 1.30 a.m this morning.
In less than one month consecutive
four successful initiatives have been spreading a message fast to the commoners
that administration would no longer sleep to end this social curse like immature
marriage. And it is Mr. Arindam Niyogi who
will be remembered in the days to come for blowing the whistle.
