BAGDHARA

Sir, May I draw the
attention of the Kalim-
pong Municipality, the
Publio Health Department
and the proprietor of Bag-
dhara Water Spring
through your publication
for taking immediate aotion
to keep this spring in
hygienic condition and to
maintain it properly. This
natural spring is the only
source of water supply
to the, publio of .Kalim-
pong town during the
summer when the water
is scaroe. It has been
noticed that this spring is
being negleoted and is not
maintained & cleaned pro.
perly. At present, with the
help of Bagdhara Seva
Sangh the Tank of this
spring is being cleaned from
time to time but still the
Water is unhygienic and
if proper analysis is done,
I am sure the water, will
be unfit for human con-
sumption. There is every
chance of epidemic if no
proper care is taken to
clean & properly main-
tain tbe water spring.
Yours etp. P. N. Tendup,
Bagdhara Road, Kalim-
pong- ,
