Parking of vehicles and dumping of construction material in front of Surya Vihar, a rain shelter in Solan, have become a nuisance. It inconveniences those boarding buses. The authorities should take measures to stop the practice.

Develop Andretta village

Punjabi University, Patiala, has about 15 acres at Andretta village. The land was donated to the university by noted artist Norah Richards. However, the university used the land just for a few days to organise a fest. The state government should ask the university to develop a permanent centre at Andretta village so that the artist village can be developed as a tourism hub and local people can benefit. Despite the fact that thousands of tourists visit the village every year, there is no facility for their stay here. The tourists come, visit Sobha Singh Gallery and return.

Kullu stinks 

Kullu town attracts a large number of tourists for its scenic beauty. But the town is facing acute problem after garbage dumping was stopped at the waste incinerator plant in Pirdi in September last year. Heaps of garbage piled up at various places emit foul smell. The Kullu Municipal Committee has no place to dump the garbage and it has become a health hazard. The government should take immediate measures to resolve the problem. The residents should assist the Kullu MC and the administration.

Poor garbage collection

Poor garbage collection in the Bheuli area of Mandi town has become a cause of concern for area residents. They said the contractor was not collecting garbage regularly. Despite repeated requests, he was not doing his work.
