Phursatgunj !?!

what are they doing with our beloved phursatgunj ? not only phursatgunj but whole of baroda is under their radar. lazy police force of Baroda is super active these days. number of crime incidents are 60% higher than that of yesteryear. what is behind all this?? now at 10 in the evening we almost have a curfew like situation here in phursatgunj... i don't know what is happening around me as rather i am very much confused. i don't know why this changes are happening.

and for last 2 days we barely manage to get tea at night near ST station. to get ciggis at night i roam around baroda on my 1890 vintage bike for half an hour daily. life is not as cool as it was in phursatgunj. my god, what is happening here !!! and as if this is not enough it even rains in the night sometimes. seasons are changing here in phursatgunj.

and worst of all they demolished 150 shops located between punjab mill and railway station. now we have a broad road with footpath towards railway station. work is going on at full speed here. and within two days i think it will be over. now i don't have any place to sit at in the night as our Bhurabhai's open-air restaurant is gone. samrat is closed for last two days.

tomorrow will be back with the pictures of demolition and how railway station looks after demolition. god save the phursatgunj.
