Century-old Bathing Ghat Needs Renovation

150 years old Motilal Ghat (bathing ghat of Kolkata) needs renovation. The "richest and most virtuous baboo of Calcutta" Mutty Lall Seal or Moti Lal Seal established this bathing ghat on the bank of River Hooghly (Ganga) in the middle of nineteenth century alongwith other benevolent activities for Calcutta. The bathing ghat is now being neglected, under dilapidation. Alongwith other older ghats, this century-old Motilal Ghat should also be declared as heritage monument and conserved as well. -- A. B.
