Residents unite to restore ‘shishu udyan’

Environmentalists around the world preach about conserving nature and it feels good when common people participate in doing so. Local residents of Baghajatin joined hands to fix the Baghajatin E-Block Shishu Udyan. The park was destroyed in 2009 by the Aila storm. Since then it has been neglected.

Back in 2015 when the locals found out that surveys are being conducted to install a mobile tower in the locality they decided that it was time for something more radical. The residents convinced the councillor and the MLA of the region to halt the installation of the mobile tower. The park had been renovated in 2016 and the locals have been fixing it ever since. They even volunteered to start a fund to pay for its maintenance.
