INTRODUCTION
The Talbagicha area belonging to ward no-33 of Kharagpur Municipality is mainly a
medium density suburban residential area with some commercial facilities at thecentral part. It merely has any such big industries. The nearest industrial area
comprising of a Cement production unit and an Asbestos factory at Dewanmaro,
Hariatala, Kharagpur, is located almost 2.0 km away in west of Talbagicha area.
This industrial area contributes partly to the declination of air
quality of Talbagicha area but has no other environmental impact.

OTHER CRITICAL OBSERVATIONS
1. The area is very prone to power-cut. Also there is not sufficient street lighting.
2. As insecticides are not sprayed regularly by the municipality the area is very muchaffected with mosquitoes.
3. There is no as such any big water body in the total area.
4. Though there are many playground and open spaces but there is no as such
maintained recreational park.
5. There is quite much greenery in the total area.
6. As because yet the density in this area is not too much there is still chances to
prevent the pollution and transform this area into a healthy residential area.
