A shocking reaction .

No matter, what the owners of BCL -globally have decided to shut down the BHopal Unit. But, members and the Bhopalities are very much disappointed and shocked with this news.The same morning , when news in the daily newspaper came ,everybody was sad and filled with anger .

The Manager of BCL , Ms.Gitanjali was that much shocked and sad but she had to cooperate with the management, well any employee will have to obey the management decision. But, she had two roles to play one as a manager and other as a coordinator of all the members. We all approached her with our anger and pain in heart to know why ..why..British Library is shutting down??

People around the city , are not able to believe British Library , our BCL is declared to be closed down by 29 feb 2008. Is year 2008 lucky or unlucky..I really doubt now? This dosen't sounds any good to me. We made friends here, we lived our failures and success here.And it is 42 year old , our childhood stories are associated here. We are emotionally attached to this place. Then how can anyone just come and declare it to be shut down, when it is running on profit! Yes, BCL ,Bhopal has got 5000 members .And, no year it is in loss, at least not now.

Our world of information and entertainment is shutting down..please people, members help us save BCL.

Here are some reactions from member and non-members of BCL, about the disasterous decision of shutting down:-
