Check crackers

I welcome the HC’s decision to stick to the ban on bursting of crackers except on Dasehra, Diwali and Gurpurb for specific hours only.

I welcome the HC’s decision to stick to the ban on bursting of crackers except on Dasehra, Diwali and Gurpurb for specific hours only. However, children can be spotted bursting crackers across the city. It is the duty of parents to stop their children from bursting crackers and other fireworks to keep noise and air pollution levels in check. Asthma patients suffer a lot due to smoky atmosphere.

Road safety important

While wearing helmet by Sikh women in Chandigarh will become optional as the UT Administration has issued a draft notification for making an amendment to Rule 129 of Section 2 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, it must always be kept in mind that such a religion-centric move could also prove fatal. The Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has recently directed the UT Administration to make use of protective headgear ‘optional’ for Sikh women by bowing to their religious sentiments. However, the women should make it a point to voluntarily wear helmets whenever they ride two-wheelers ) more as a precaution than risking their lives whether or not the government makes it mandatory for them because precaution is always better than cure.

Sigh of relief

Commuters, particularly those travelling via Chandigarh- Kharar route and Mohali- Kharar route, heaved a sigh of relief on Wednesday when heavy vehicles were banned on these routes and diverted to the other ones. With this, traffic congestion on these roads have been reduced allowing vehicles to move freely. Now, government must ensure repair of these roads on time.

Is a civic issue bothering you? Are you agitated over the lack of concern? Is there something heartening that you feel needs to be highlighted? Or a picture which in your opinion ought to be seen by many, and not just you?
