Poor sanitary conditions

Narwana: Pathetic conditions prevail near toilets in the old grain market in Narwana. Stray dogs and pigs can be seen roaming there throughout the day. The stench from dirty toilets has made the life of people miserable. The matter has been brought to the notice of the municipal authorities several times, but to no avail.  — Ramesh Gupta

Taxpayers’ money goes down the drain 

Faridabad: Roads in the city, which is being built as a smart city, still get waterlogged. Residential sectors easily get flooded with rainwater, belying the tall claims of the civic authorities of doing the needful. The state government, which spends crores of rupees every year on civic infrastructure, has also failed to punish the officials responsible for the mess and inconvenience caused to taxpayers.  — Satinder Singh, Wing Commander (retd)  

Water-logging in Ambala    

Ambala: Residents of Sector 9 in Ambala City are facing the problems of water-logging and overflowing sewerage for the past several years. The situation is grim in the area where 14 and 20 marla houses are situated. The drainage system, slopes and roads have not been properly designed. In many lanes, roads are above the floor level of houses. It takes only 30 to 45 minutes of decent rainfall to flood the area and bring normal life to standstill. Rainwater easily enters houses. HUDA and the Municipal Corporation need to act responsibly and take proper corrective measures after a proper survey of three or four worst-affected streets of the area. — Dr YP Mehta

Traffic jams in Gurugram a routine

Gurugram: Heavy traffic leading to long jams on Gurugram roads have become a routine. Most of the commuters do not adhere to traffic rules and regulations. Besides, people can be seen driving two-wheelers without wearing helmets, inviting trouble for themselves and others. They must keep in mind that wearing a helmet is mandatory to ensure safety on roads. I appeal to people to make it a habit to observe traffic rules and wear helmets while driving two-wheelers.  — Subhash C Taneja

Is a civic issue bothering you? Are you agitated over the lack of concern? Is there something heartening that you feel needs to be highlighted? Or a picture which in your opinion ought to be seen by many, and not just you?
