Christian cemetery

Christian community is not much visible in Jagraon.However there is a
Sacred Heart School which is run by them.It is one of the leading
Schools of Jagraon.At a little distance from the Church is the
Christian cemetery.It is providing a green Patch to the busy Tehsil
road.

A visit to the Jain temple

The Jains are a strong community in Jagraon.Several institutions are
being run by this community.They include Swami Roopchand Jain
school,Sanmati Vimal Jain schoo,Anuvrat Jain school,Mahapragya
school.A hospital named Swami Roop Chand charitable hospital is about
to function.The construction work is near copletion.There is a very
well maintaine Jain temple near the Bus Stand which is dedicated to
the Jain saint Swami Roop Chand.When I visited the temple I asked a
turbuned security guard if I could take a photograph.He refused and on
being asked he told that I could visit the temple but without taking
much time.The temple is at the centre of a well maintained garden.

Bandhs a bit too frequent in Punjab

It is Punjab Bandh today.Bandh is quite frequent in Punjab these
day.Almost every month there is a bandh.It would be fine if the Bandh
days be fixed.In this way one can plan to enjoy it thoroughly.Like
weekly holidays,the Sundays,there should be one monthly Bandh day.In
that case I could have wished you a happy monthly bandh day.

Turbans not much in fashion nowadays

The youth of Punjab are fast giving up the turbans.Many do not even
use a comb.They often applly gel and straighten their hair and make
them appear like a broom.
