Tarakeswar, April 25 :    Tarakeswar, April 25:  The district administration plans to restrict the use of Dudhpukur, from where devotees at the Tarakeswar temple are given charanamrita, as part of its plan to check pollution of the pond. At a meeting held by district magistrate Subrata Biswas, the government also decided to improve the sewerage system in the area, clean the pond regularly and keep round-the-clock vigil to prevent people from dumping wastes. The administration also decided to start an awareness campaign about the need to prevent pollution of the pond. 'We have issued a ban on using Dudhpukur for bathing, washing, cleaning utensils or any other purpose that can pollute the waterbody,' said Biswas, after a meeting held to find ways to keep Dudhpukur pollution-free. The meeting was attended by temple authorities, public health engineering department and pollution control board officials, as well as the chairman of Tarakeswar municipality and the subdivisional officer of Chandernagore. The passage through which the charanamrita used to fall in Dudhpukur has been sealed. The government has asked temple authorities to keep the place where charanamrita is stored clean and ensure it does not flow into the pond. The pollution control board will test the water of the pond once every three months and submit the report to the administration. It was decided to set up a permanent police picket in the temple complex. Temple authorities will also make security arrangements to prevent any untoward incident. 'I have asked the temple authorities to ensure that the pond is maintained properly and keep vigil to prevent it from pollution,' the district magistrate said. The water in the pond would be pumped out immediately and it would be filled with fresh water, he added. The Tarakeswar municipality has also taken up projects for the overall development of the temple compound and the surrounding areas. These include renovation of the temple's main gates, arrangement of adequate lighting, improvement in the drainage system, construction of toilets, fencing around the pond and construction of a parking lot. The district administration's decision to clean Dudhpukur and prevent it from pollution comes in the wake of a report submited by the pollution control board showing that the water of the pond, used as charanamrita, is not for human consumption.
