In a meeting with Union Minister for Urban Development Firhad Hakim, the team has pointed to the need of building new sewerage lines form Kalimpong.

The present sewerage lines had been built in the British period and due to the growing population these often lead to blockades, causing various problems. They have also demanded the construction of footpaths in areas where there is no footpath.

Darjeeling Hill Trinamool Youth President Suman Gurung and Darjeeling Hill Trinamool Cinchona Plantation Association President Santosh Khawas are the other members of the team.
