EMPLOYEES CLAIM THAT THEY WORK MUCH BETTER THAN DELHI , MUMBAI, CHENNAI & LOWER COST.

MANY HOTELS ,HOSPITALS,HOMEMADE CLOTHS ARE COMMON IN THE DHOBI KHANA FOR DAILY WASHES. ABOUT 100-200 DHOBI WORK  HERE FROM 4 O 'CLOCK.

THE CURRENT SITUATION OF ANCIENT CENTURIES IS VERY POOR.

THE MAINTENANCE OF THIS DHOBIGHAT IS VERY URGENT RIGHT NOW.

IF THE ADMINISTRATION DOSENT PAY ATTENTION TO THIS DHOBI GHAT THEN ONE OF THE HISTORY OF KOLKATA CAN BE DELETED THE FEAR OF  LOCAL & EMPLOYEES.
