Act against encroachments

DHABA owners have occupied a major part of the road at a distance of hardly 20 meters from the Kaithal Municipal Council office. The inaction by council staff has not only boosted the morale of violators but also resulted in great inconvenience to residents who have to face traffic jams daily at Old Gandhi Park chowk. Interestingly, the city police station and CIA -1 office are also situated near by. All encroachments should be be removed and strict action be taken against illegal occupiers. —Satish Seth, Kaithal

Biomedical waste a threat to ragpickers

BIOMEDICAL aste is not being properly dumped in Karnal. Ragpickers can be seen collecting empty syringes near Udham Singh Chowk, Sector 32. Biomedical waste is always thrown at a particular place but it is evident that this waste is being thrown along with other garbage, which is serious and harmful. Ragpickers sustain themselves by sorting and segregating waste. They are regularly exposed to cuts, infection, respiratory diseases and tuberculosis apart from poverty, biomedical waste particularly syringes can be highly infected. The local administration should immediately take notice and act at once. —Rajesh Sharma, Karnal

Dangerous to drive on Jind-Rohtak road

WHILE going to Delhi, it was torturous to cover the 60-km distance between Jind and Rohtak. The entire stretch is potholed at many places, especially in Julana. It is too scary to drive as the vehicles can simply breakdown in the middle of the road. In 1968, when I used to go to Rohtak, the road was somewhat better, but over the years, it has turned from bad to worse despite the fact that the government has spent crores on its repairs. —Ramesh Gupta, Narwana
