POLLUTION CONTROL DRIVE

This activity has continued with the support of some members of the association. Massive plastic and garbage clearance drives are undertaken. Huge amounts of waste and polluting matter is cleared and disposed of. The municipal council co-operates only in clearing the mountain of fifth collected through this effort. Major points such as Arthur's Seat, Lodwick Point, Kate Point, Bombay Point, The Lake and other areas. The prime object is to rid our beautiful town of the plastic and other poisons and secondly of course for the holidaying visitors to enjoy their visit to our hill station.

RESTORATION OF SITES

Without the full co-operation of the Department of Forest officials, this would not have been possible.

We have "adopted" the Bombay (Sunset) Point. Do pay it a visit, if you have not already done so. The ground has been leveled & rolled, the old run down central structure fully repaired and painted. Stone parapets reshaped. The road leading to the point cleared and the surface patched up of pot holes by the Municipal Council, through pressure from an external source.

Landwick Point: Some years ago through a single handed effort of our pastresident W. Dias (deceased), the run down monument was completly restored. However, through passage of time it was again on the road to decline. We have fully brought back the monument to its original state. The stone boundaries reconstructed, Steel pipe railings ( which protect visitors from falling over into the valley) fully redone for the safety of visitors. Sign Boards erected and dustbins colleagues Kailash and Richard Dias, this would not have come about.
