Broken manhole cover a threat
THE cover of a manhole of the sewer line in front of a government primary school at Kharkhoda on the Kharkhoda-Sampla NH is broken causing danger not only to the pedestrians and vehicle drivers but also for students of the school. It has been brought to the notice of the public health authorities, but no action has been taken so far.

Open manholes pose risk
DESPITE the city having the largest civic body in form a Municipal Corporation, Faridabad, (MCF), residents here face the risk of falling into an open manhole. While there could be several such spots on the roads in the city, a gaping manhole is posing a threat to the residents of 1-H/10 block of the NIT here for the past few days, as no one from the civic body has turned to cover it after some repairs recently. Though some bricks have been kept to encircle it, this is simply inadequate to ward off the threat of one falling or slipping into it, especially at night. Children playing around it are also susceptible to it.

Poor drainage at Ambala revenue office
THE office of Kanungo, Revenue, Ambala, known as Patwarkhana, which is under the direct control of tehsildar, lacks proper drainage system. The situation is conspicuous of the fact that our administration lacks amenability and local officials are least concerned about any mission or its objectives unless involved forcefully. It has been noted that hundreds of people visit here daily in connection with their revenue and certificate reports from patwaris. They walk through water which stinks badly. The DC or the SDM must take cognisance of the issue and get the things rectified at the earliest.
