What Our Readers Say: Rising pollution chokes Gurugram

Even as the worsening air quality is choking Gurugram residents, the Municipal Corporation has failed to curb the burning of garbage here. The practice is most prevalent in the DLF areas. We have been pleading with the authorities for months to resolve this problem, but no action has been taken against the offenders so far. The state government must take corrective measures to address the problem of air pollution at the earliest. —Riya Malhotra, Gurugram

Put up signs near under-construction roads

The construction and repair of roads often cause inconvenience to commuters as the authorities fail to issue traffic advisories and alternative route plans on time. Motorists lose out on precious time and fuel as they suddenly come across blocked roads and have to take alternative routes at the last minute. A motorcyclist recently died after falling from an under-construction flyover on the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway as the contractors had not put up any signs or instructions to warn commuters. The government should direct the contractors and agencies concerned to instal signage at construction sites and the police to issue traffic advisories in advance. —AK Gaur, Faridabad
