Building materials piled on roadside in Kaithal
Trucks and bumpers loaded with sand and bajri are unloaded on road berms in various parts of Kaithal city by traders dealing in sale of such materials. The land on which this business activity is carried out belongs to the state PWD, Municipal Council or NHAI, but no action is taken against those encroaching the government land. The huge stocks of building material lying on road sides not only obstruct the smooth flow of traffic, but also pose risk to lives of road users, especially pedestrians, who find little space for movement on such spots. The departments concerned should get the road berms cleared to ensure the safety of road users.

Issue of waterlogging remains unaddressed
Despite spending a budget of several hundred crores on upgrading and maintenance of the civic infrastructure each year, the Municipal Corporation and other agencies of the city have failed to provide a stable and long-term solution to the problem of waterlogging. While the recent downpour exposed the tall claims of the civic agencies and the officials concerned, the money of the taxpayers seems to be going down the drain as there is hardly any improvement and it is the residents who are at the receiving end. Even the offices of the district administration and the Municipal Corporation are waterlogged after every downpour, which is a matter of grave shame and failure of the official machinery.

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?
