What our readers say: Garbage dumped in Vegetable market

The vegetable market situated at the Dabua colony, one of the biggest mandis in the NCR, has become a dumping site. The area is flooded with heaps of garbage, making visitors a victim of the poor civic conditions. With dumping of rotten fruits and vegetables in open, the visitors find it difficult to even walk on the road. Though the market is controlled and supervised by a committee appointed by the state government, the situation has deteriorated in wake of corruption and negligence. —Devinder Singh Surjewala, Faridabad

The situation is not just an eyesore, but it could also lead to serious injuries if someone gets caught in the wires. The authorities concerned should take note of the issue and remove the wires at the earliest to avoid any untoward incident. —Sachin, Nehru Nagar

Drivers of two-wheelers encroach service roads

Footpaths and service roads on NH-44, crossing from the 'Textile City', have been encroached upon by drivers of two-wheelers or other vehicles.

After the parking lot under the flyover has been allotted to a private contractor by the administration, the numbers of vehicles have risen on service roads and footpaths. The authorities should initiate a special drive to control the parking of vehicles here. —Jitender Kumar, panipat
