Stolen Streets of McCluskiegunj

Hi folks!
Many streets/roads that existed within the colonies of McCluskiegunj in the initial time have been captured by local residents since many years and they claim the same to be part of their own land.
The captured roads remained unknown to most of the population here because of the replacements of generations. The roads and/or streets that are now being used to move within the place are also as old as the captured.
Being a vast and open place with scattered bungalows, there was plenty of vacant land to move around without any objection from the landlords, hence nobody considered it necessary to stop the roads from being walled off then. Now, the owners of the said temporary roads have started building as per their needs which is making it inconvenient for public who have to walk the extra bit.
It is import to get back the roads from them who think that nobody knows of their deeds or nobody is concerned for the same.
After all, its public property!

For sake of birds

Don't miss this...
Its not just what it looks like. It is a secret place for the birds that die of thirst. It was a wood apple (Bael) tree which was knocked off from ground level. Its new branches are surrounding it. In the centre is water that keeps cool for thirsty birds.
There are a large variety of birds here in McCluskiegunj. Early in the morning at dawn, the different types of chirping can be heard. It sounds wonderful.

Abul Ansari Killed a big snake!

This young boy Abul Absari killed this creature which was on a tree, while he was on his way back from school.
On account of rain (just enough to wash off the dust on leaves) and pleasent weather these creatures come out of hiding. They are many many kinds of snakes seen here. This is the time for scorpions also. Big black ones! Dangerous!

Take a closer look...

This place is famous for having a Mosque, Temple, Church and Gurudwara at one place.
Located at Dullee, a village here, this place has been highlighted as a tourist attraction. Initially the four Worship places were built smaller and years later the owner of the place Mr. Diwan started reconstruction of the same by pulling them down one by one.
The Mosque and Temple were reconstructed making them as tall as they are now. The Church was the third to be pulled down but then Mr. Diwan expired and the place was left as it was till last year. The cross that still stands between the Temple and the Gurudwara.
The place is now being made in to a total tourist spot with proper roads to it, resting and sitting areas and much more are coming up. The Church and the Gurudwara will also stand tall as the others soon.
