Illegal clubs
continue to flourish in Rambagh
|
Even after several years of expiry of the lease, four clubs
continue to function in the heritage building of Rambagh. The district
administration has done nothing to evict them and put an end to the
illegal activity.

Petty crime rises
in holy city
The year 2006 closed with about six big incidents of robbery and
theft. A salesman of a leading ophthalmologic instrument manufacturing
company was robbed off a laser eye machine worth Rs 15 lakh when he
landed in city to deliver the machine to a leading eye specialist. The
police remained clueless as foggy weather and swear cold conditions
immobilised the force, especially late in the night and early morning.
Encroachments in
walkers’ way
Encroachments on footpaths have become a big nuisance in the city.
Rehriwalas and shopkeepers encroach upon the space to sell their
goods, installing their rehris or extending their counters on to the
footpaths illegally leading to traffic chaos and inconvenience to the
public.
Still not major
tourist destination
Amritsar is a place of great historical and religious importance,
both for Sikhs and Hindus. People from different communities,
religions and regions come to the city along with foreign tourists but
the city is still not among the major tourist sites like Jaipur,
Udaipur, Goa, Shimla and McLeodganj.
