70 YEARS OLD MILL AT LINGTAM, E- SIKKIM.

A very old Mill [almost 70 years old] built at Lingtam [East Sikkim] operated by the current generating from a  small canal of water that was channelized from the near- by stream. It was used for crushing flour and grains by the local villagers. A beam balance [at the foreground] and the stone crusher [at the background] can be seen at the picture. The most amazing thing about this mill is that, a minimal current of water could generate energy enough to propel this massive grinding block of stone.
