Ancient temple in a shambles
In the name of renovation of this ancient famous temple called Rani Talab, in the heart of Jind, more than Rs 6 crore has been spent over the years. New musical lights were installed and it was filled up with fresh canal water. For the entertainment of visitors, boating facilities were also introduced. But gradually, everybody concerned lost interest, may be because of Covid, and now this monument has lost all its sheen. Paint has faded, lights have been stolen and water level has gone drastically down. Moreover, stagnant water has become a breeding ground for mosquitoes. The administration should once again revive its lost glory. Ramesh Gupta, Narwana
United efforts needed to beat Covid
In order to overcome the ongoing second wave of Covid that is raging all over the country, people will have to work in tandem. First, everyone should avoid rumours or false propaganda related to Covid and vaccines. Second, each person must have a strong will to beat Covid. Moreover, infected people need to take proper treatment and prevention measures. And lastly, everyone needs to perform their duties faithfully and need to be patient. Shakti Singh, Karnal
Dog sterilisation drive a joke
Apropos of the news report “Dog sterilisation drive in Panchkula” published in Chandigarh Tribune on April 16, the campaign has turned out to be a joke. Recently, I called on the number mentioned in the article, 98762-52622, followed by the visit of an executive after a few days, wherein I appraised him about the consistent problem of stray dogs running after vehicles, barking during night and getting ferocious at the drop of a hat, which is quite dangerous and irksome. However, he told me to make a video of the incident and forward it to him before any action could be initiated. It seems citizens now have to run after dogs and make videos to get them sterilised.

Don’t rough up doctors
It is unfortunate state of affairs that the incidents of assault on the medics at the hands of family members of Covid patients are being reported every day. This is quite unethical and should be regretted. A doctor drives to his workplace carrying a solitary aim of saving lives and they wholeheartedly immerse in accountability for doing justice to their profession. If any mishap occurs, the doctor should not be blamed for it. Words fall short to appreciate the medical fraternity. The second wave is worse and to curb this deadly virus, we should show solidarity instead of mudslinging. Baljeet Singh Deep, Hisar
