Residents of Ambala village living in poor hygiene

Tundla village, Ambala Cantt, is littered with garbage, stagnant water ponds in residential areas, and heaps of cow dung. Stray cattle roam around freely and the area behind the village government school is full of filth. It is sad that people have learnt to live with the stink, and contribute little to improve their surroundings. The MC authorities need to have an effective system of garbage lifting and disposal. The village people must also contribute towards cleanliness, and keep their areas neat.

Let’s all be alert and help govt agencies

Apropos (Chandigarh Tribune dated April 12) “4.04 crore stolen from bank in Sector 34, guard missing”; Trees, electricity poles in the middle of roads turn death traps for motorists”; “2 swindlers held for duping city woman of 11.93 lakh”; are perennial issues plaguing the tricity since yore. The general public should also come forward without any apprehension and be alert in helping the agencies nab the culprits. The local government and law enforcement agencies should also increase surveillance and apprehend such mischievous elements swiftly to restore the already lost confidence of the common man.
