Happy New Year 2016

Writing this from Eco Park office of Eco Park, a new office chamber in first floor of the erstwhile administrative building close to Artists'   Cottage. I can see the crescent-shaped lake where people are boating. On the shore, more and more tourists are streaming in.

In the morning, Ms Banan Kakkar of PUBLIC and me opened the 5-acre natural Pakhibitan. This is close to Biswa Banga Hat. I was told that birds migrated from Russia, Europe and Indonesia had actually been sighted. A photo:

Soon organised bird watching will be done

I wish everyone a happy new year. I also got the scale of Additional Chief Secretary from today and thank the government for it.
