As a part of their social work, more than 200 Border Security Force
(BSF) jawans engaged themselves in a cleanliness drive at the Maharaja
Jitendra Narayan Hospital in Cooch Behar on Friday. The hospital is
the District Hospital of Cooch Behar.

Praising the initiative, the acting Superintendent of the MJN
Hospital, De Subrata Haldar said that the BSF jawans came forward
following invitations from the hospital authority. They have cleaned
all dirty places of the hospital including indoor and outdoor
premises. They also promised of planting of saplings with a bid to
maintain clean environment. Dr Haldar said, "It is now upto us to
maintain the cleaned state. This is very tough work. We would request
non-government organisations and others to help us at least once in
three months."

An official from the Falakata Sector of the BSF, Rajneesh Singh said
that more than 200 jawans from their Sector worked for hours to clean
the hospital premises. They will also work on Saturday to remove the
garbage form the place adjacent to the morgue. Tree saplings would be

our cleanliness drive as hundreds of patients come here for treatment.
They need a clean environment", Singh said.
