1895 January B-1-6 3L/3 319-321 Appointment of a Committee to inspect and report upon a site at Gobra situated within the
Calcutta Municipality for the Leper Asylum; Report of the President of the Albert Victor
Leper Asylum Committee on the proposed removal of the vagrants who occupied the Alms
House to a Vagrants Ward in the Presidency Jail, and housing the female lepers in the
premises occupied by the vagrants. [Gobra site was formerly a tannery situated on the
Gobra-Goristan Road; but because of nearness to Muslim cemetery, was rejected; another
plot to the east was then selected on the Gobra Road south, immediately to the east of the
Railway Line, about 18 bighas in area].. At the meeting of the Committee it was objected by
some of the members that as long as residence in the Asylum was voluntary, it would be
useless removing the Aylum [at Amherst Street] especially in the direction of Gobra, which
is at a considerable distance from the neighbourhood in which lepers generally reside.
Accordingly a reference was made to government, and in reply the Committee were
informed that legislation was contemplated, and that in the opinion of the Lieutenant –
Governor there would be a sufficient measure of compulsion to justify the removal of the
Asylum… the present asylum at Amherst Street is over-crowded
