What our readers say: Efforts on to make hisar cattle-free

THE Municipal Corporation of Hisar deserves commendation for its efforts to beautify the city by addressing the stray cattle issue. However, some people hinder this progress by abandoning their infertile or unproductive cattle on the streets. This issue has been largely resolved through the capture of such animals. To completely solve this problem, there should be a provision for hefty fines and shifting the abandoned cattle to gaushalas. Without this change in the Municipal Act, the cattle problem may persist.

CM, ministers should pay income tax

IN the BJP government in Haryana, led by Nayab Saini, it is unjustifiable that the state treasury covers the income tax liabilities of the Chief Minister, 13 ministers, the Speaker, Deputy Speaker and the Leader of the Opposition — totaling 17 officials. The public has often questioned why these leaders do not pay their income tax out of their own pockets. Some BJP-ruled states have amended their laws to require leaders to pay taxes personally, and the state should follow suit, setting an example for others by ensuring that these representatives pay their own taxes, just like every other taxpayer.

Shortage of DAP fertiliser hit farmers

The persistent shortage of DAP fertiliser is causing significant hardship for farmers in surrounding villages. Despite arriving early, many farmers return home empty-handed after waiting in long queues, only to repeat the process the next day. Each farmer is limited to receiving just four bags of fertiliser by showing their Aadhaar card. This quantity is clearly insufficient, especially for those with large farms, such as those covering 10 to 20 acres. Fertiliser distribution should be based on the size of land holdings, not just Aadhaar cards.
