Exclude Kasol and Manikaran from SADA
Kasol and Manikaran in Kullu should be excluded from the Special Area Development Authority (SADA) due to distinct topography of the area. Ever since the panchayats of Kasol and Manikaran were included under SADA in 2003, the residents have been facing problems as the stringent laws are not suitable for rural areas considering their geographical conditions. Waste dumping site, sewerage, water supply and other facilities are to be provided under SADA, but nothing has been done on the ground so far. The government needs to look into it. —Hukkam, Kullu
Parking blues in Baijnath
Parking has become a serious problem in Baijnath. Former minister Sudhir Sharma had laid the foundation stone of a multi-storey parking on March 11, 2016. He had announced that the proposed parking near Cafe Bhairav would also have a shopping centre. Now, the local MLA says the parking facility will be provided near Kheerganga. It seems the proposed parking project has become a victim of red tape. —Vartika, Baijnath
Stray cattle menace in Una
While the state government claims to have opened a cattle pound, there is no respite for residents of Una. Bulls freely move on roads and have led to many accidents, particularly at night. There have also been instances of ferocious animals attacking children and elderly, but the administration continues to turn a blind eye to the issue. —Prem Chand Sharma, Una
HT tower under threat
Due to reckless excavation of the hill at the T-point for the four-laning of Solan highway, the HT tower can fall anytime. Passersby using the road are at a risk as there can be a fatal mishap. The authorities should ensure its timely removal rather than waiting for some tragedy to occur. The district administration should pay attention to such vulnerable areas. It is surprising that the authorities have not taken take note of it. Rain has further eroded the hill. —Ritu Kumari, Solan
