         again like to take this opportunity to implore upon all the Members to help us in keeping    

         the campus clean by not throwing anything out from our flats and also to instruct the     

         House maids and the Drivers employed by them not to throw papers/ cigarette / Pan masala

                     packets on the road. All are requested to co-operate and utilize our door to door collection

                     service for this purpose. We would also request all the Members to please ensure that water

                     falling from the running Air conditioners are channeled through a pipe reaching up to the

                     surface drain. Members are also requested to instruct the housemaids not to throw water

                     below from the balconies while watering the plants or while cleaning the balconies.

 

viii)          Security Surveillance- So far we have installed eight cameras in the Campus which has been helpful    

                   in having surveillance in a limited way. There has been requests from Members to increase the

                    coverage of the area under surveillance further and we have planned to install another 08 cameras

                   from the fund allocated for such expenditure in the budget.

 

ix )      To give relief to the Members / Residents, provision has been made to supply water directly from the

You are aware of the fact that the Board, after intense negotiation and through a Tendering process had issued work Order to Ma Durga Enterprise (authorised ICI Applicator and recommend by ICI) for undertaking the Building Repair and Painting job. Accordingly the Building repair and painting work have been progressing towards completion but unfortunately due to the Covid Pandemic and the resulting lockdown the work had to be stopped all of a sudden.

xv) Plumbing work:

Change of PVC Sewage Pipe, Over head water pipe line, stop cock have been undertaken in all the buildings.

xvi) Lockdown:

Even though technically it should not be a part of this report as because it covers the time period between 1st April 19 to 31st March 20 but we have to make a mention of the extraordinary times that the Society had to pass / had been passing through due to the pandemic, which is quite unprecedented in the history of Happy Nook. A sudden and total lockdown had been declared all over India on 23rd of March 20 that threw everybody’s life upside down. The Society took utmost pain and efforts to ensure that all health protocols were adhered to and at the same time had tried it’s level best to extend all possible help and service to it’s Residents. Vendors like Sufal Bangla, Haringhata, Mio Amore ,Spencers had been arranged to come in and make all types of food and grocery items available with in the campus so that the Residents do not have to go outside the campus to buy the essentials.

            At the end, it would be my extreme pleasure to thank you all on behalf of the Board of Directors.

 

             As Happy Nook steps in to it’s 25th Year I wish you all best of health, happiness, prosperity and a harmonious living in the campus.
