McCluskieganj Hostel Association

It looks like the Association is a group of people that want to control all the schools and hostels in McCluskiegunj.
After the case of a class nine student being found dead in a well on the 25th morning, an emergency meeting was called for by the Association.
The reason for the meeting was to discuss problems and solutions of such incidents taking place.
The unfortunate student had left the hostel campus on pretence of going for tuition. So the Association has decided that NO hostel will allow tuition for boarders. Though school authorities have permitted teachers to visit hostels and have tuition classes privately but the Association thinks that teachers may escort a student out by hiding him/her in a handbag or in one's pocket while leaving the hostel after teaching, so no private tuition will be allowed.
The Association in not even registered, has no bylaws and only a handful of people who want to be dictators. And all hostel owners have to obey.
This is the height of nonsense.

A huge Banyan tree

This is a very old Banyan tree. You can see some people and bikes under it. This was clicked a month ago.

The Thorpe Family of McCluskiegunj

This is the Thorpe family of McCluskiegunj. They own property here which is being claimed by the Malhaar tribe.
The old caretaker expired and her kin took charge and care of the bungalow and property measuring nearly 7 acres since then.
Now, it is necessary for the current caretaker to get in contact with the owners in order to save the property from being snatched away, but the info about Robert Thorpe is that he is in Australia and that's all. No phone no. or email or surface address is available with anybody here in the Gunj.

Train at the Crossing

Many students and teachers were delayed due to wagons being halted at the level crossing this morning. It is said that there is a problem with the tracks.
The wagons stood between the crossing for nearly half an hour and was later moved just enough to allow traffic.
An over head bridge is needed here soon because once the bridge over the Damodar river opens officially, there will be huge traffic and traffic jams.

Annual Visitor

This creature has been visiting the place in the month of July every year. People offer it food when it sits on their roofs. It is very friendly.

Court Order not being carried out by Cops

It has been nearly a week now since the notice by the pollution department to stop the coal siding here has been issued but the coal business is still running, defying all orders.
McCluskiegunj railway station master has also received a copy of the same but hasn't taken necessary steps to stop it.
McCluskiegunj! Here everything is possible and its also easy to commit crime and escape scotch free :)
THE COPS PROVE IT THEMSELVES.
