Tarn Taran, December 31

The Shaheed Bhagat Singh Social Welfare and Cultural Club, Dhotian, in its meeting organised at Dhotian village here on Sunday took a serious note of the stagnant water on the main road for over the last one month.

A letter has been written to the Deputy Commissioner requesting him to order the department concerned to drain out stagnant water on Sheron-Jamarai Shaheed Budh Singh Road. The stagnant water is not only causing inconvenience, but has turned the road into a breeding-ground of mosquitoes. – Ravinder Singh Gill, Shaheed Bhagat Singh Social Welfare and Cultural Club

The stagnant water is causing undue inconvenience to commuters. Ravinder Singh Gill, chairman of the club, said a letter has been written to the Deputy Commissioner requesting him to further order the department concerned to drain out the stagnant water on the Sheron-Jamarai Shaheed Budh Singh Road of the village. The club in the letter said the stagnant water was not only causing inconvenience but it had turned the road into a perfect breeding-ground, which can further led to the outbreak of an epidemic.

The club also demanded the cleaning and de-silting of the village ponds, which have never been de-silted as a result of which these were overflowing. Even the overflowing filthy water enters streets and bazaars of the village.
