Roads connecting villages in bad shape

A number of rural roads connecting villages with the district headquarters or with sub divisional headquarters are in bad shape. Chief Minister Manohar Lal in his speeches highlights construction of highways in the state but rural roads are in bad shape. The residents of villages had repeatedly organised protest in the Guhla-Cheeka area against bad, potholed roads during recent months. During my recent visit, I found big potholes on the Kaithal-Sirta-Farashmajra-Kheri Gulam Ali village road.The agitated villagers express their resentment to the area MLA over bad roads but all in vain. The people demand that the government should undertake repair of rural roads on war footing to facilitate smooth travel.

Civic conditions poor, dust pollution up

Civic conditions in the city are getting worse day by the day in wake of the failure of the civic authorities to ensure proper cleaning and removal of garbage lying almost everywhere. With no proper dumping stations or yards, the garbage is normally found dumped in the open in almost all residential pockets and even green belts. With stray cattle feeding on the waste, the so-called programmes in the name of ‘gaushalas’ stand exposed as cows can be seen munching on harmful waste, including the plastic items disposed of improperly. While the green belts have become victims of poor upkeep, the city is faced with extreme dust pollution these days due to ongoing constructions of roads. The authorities concerned should look in to the isues at the earliest.
