MUNICIPAL WASTE

Sir, I read your Editorial,
'Municipal Waste' with great
interest. 1 appreciate the
steps being taken by Ka-
limpong Municipality to
keep the Bazar area neat
and clean.

However, you may be
surprised to note that there
are many house owners
eager to instal Sanitary
Kitting in their houses and
if I am not w o lg I may
say that there are more
than a dozen Sanitary Fit-
ting Plans lying for some
time with the Municipality.
The applicants for the plan
are trying their best to get
the sanction at an early
date, but in vain.

The other thing to
which I may draw your
attention is the Municipal
policy of passing house
plans. First of all one has
to submit the house p'an
and wait for more than
six months. After thatperod
the plan is returned back
indicating defects and objec-
tions of Municipality.

I would request the
municipal authorities and
the City Fathers to ex-
pedite work with a liberal
policy of sanctioning build-
ing plans. They should also
encourage people to build
new houses as this will
attract new comers and
more people will get living

accommodations at reason-
able rents. Your etc
Kumar Agarwala.

MORE HOSPITALS

Sir, Whei. the Cen-
tral and State Govern-
ments are putting forth
all efforts tn fulfil the
necessities of the towns
arid villages of the coun-
try, why Kalimpong
should onlv be debarred
of the facilities ?

There is a Mission
Hospital at Kalimpong
trying to help the local
people in their illness, but
its capacity of beds etc.
is no more than what
could be required by a
Kalimpong of 10 or 20
years back.

With the inoreased
population of the town,
it is felt more than a
necessity that a Govern-
ment Hospital should
immediately be establi-
shed, so that th^ ready
may get the desired Hos-
pital treatment. Yours
etc Tilakchand Kejariwal.

SAD PLIGHT OF THF POOR
PEOPLE OF GEET BEOI.G

Sir, We the public
of G-'et Beong are com-
pelled to give vent to the
pitiable condition of the
facilities of primary edu-
cation. This village h
blocked from all sidei by

Nine

nature and is still out of
our superiors' eye sight.
The village is situated
between Rally and Geet
khola. The horrible con-
dition of the road can
be realised only when it
is Been. In rainy season
the villagers do not get
even salt. No one can
move any where in rainy
season due to high current
of the rivers. The villagers
are suffering without me-
dical help.

The villagers have star-
ted a Primary School to
educate their children
since a year and they are
maintaining the sohool
themselves. The life of the
villagers are just like wild
beasts. The forest is full
of leech.

They are grateful and
fwill ever remain eratefulto
the Publicity Officer who
has visited the place recen-
tly. The officer has seen
with his own eyes the suf-
ferings and troubles of the
villagers which is very di-
fficult to express or write.
The public have verbally
talked with the offioer
about the necessity of
bridge, medical help and
school under the new
development scheme of
the Government.

We therefore beg to
draw the attention of the
proper authorities to take
the earliest steps into the
matter. Yours eto B.
Shukla, leaoher, Geet
Beong Primary e chool.
