Sewage overflow poses health risk to locals

The civic authorities have failed to contain the problem of sewage overflow in posh areas of Faridabad, especially Sector 21-C. The dirty water poses a significant health hazard to residents. While the issue has been raised by the locals with the authorities concerned many a time, no change has taken place on the ground, highlighting the lackadaisical attitude of the civic agencies. Besides, a warning had been issued by the newly elected MLA, still no action has been taken. It is high time the authorities resolved the issue. —Devinder Singh Surjewala, Faridabad

Urinating in open a nuisance

urinating in the open and against a boundary wall is common. People can be spotted urinating outside railway station, bus stand and other public places. The lack of public toilets as well as the civic sense, both are equally responsible for the situation. There is also a need to sensitise the public. Heavy fines should be imposed on such people to improve the situation. Amit Kumar, ambala
