Defence Colony road at ambala cantt caves in

Defence Colony roads, in different lanes, have caved in. It is not only causing inconvenience to commuters but may also lead to accidents. Today, the road right in front of our house, in Sector D, gave way when a loaded tractor trailer passed over a manhole. The road was blocked for hours. The reason for all this caving in is shoddy work of restoring the roads after laying the sewerage pipe lines. It is obvious that supervision is poor, and the authorities are not seeing the quality of work on ground. It is high time the authorities come on ground and ensure good quality restoration work.

Uploading difficult on crop registration portal

The Haryana Government has made it mandatory for farmers in the state to register their land details online on the “Meri Fasal Mera Bayora” portal to sell their crops at government mandis. Due to non-uploading of cultivable land of Karnal town on the portal by the Patwaris concerned, the farmers here are not able to register themselves, due to which they have to face a lot of trouble. Due to the non-consolidation of land in the city, land in revenue records is recorded in “bigha” and “biswa”, but online registration of land on the portal is accepted only in “kanal” and “marla”, which is also a major problem for the farmers. The district administration should solve these issues at the earliest.

Central govt must resolve farmers’ issue at the earliest

Three days ago, agitating farmers observed “rail rook” day in support of their demands. The farmers were sure that no law applied to them so they blocked railway tracks wherever they wanted. The young were playing cards and singing songs, women were providing food and lassi and older people were playing with their grandchildren and smoking hukkas. Is this democracy? Who will bear the loss running in crores. The government must resolve the issue immediately so that people in general can heave a sigh of relief.

Prolonged farmers’ agitation must end before it gets too late

This refers to ‘Ambala farmers apologise to passengers’ (The Tribune, Feb 19). Notwithstanding the agitating farmers having reportedly ‘apologised’ to the affected train passengers owing to their (farmers’) four-hourly blockade of the railway tracks near Shahapur village in Ambala and at the Kurukshetra station, the fact still remains that they were literally made to bear the brunt of such an ‘ill-conceived’ move, for no fault of theirs. But,what about the law of the land? How come that the unrelenting farming community was allowed to hold the entire nation to ransom, even for few hours?The government should amicably resolve this unduly prolonged matter before it gets too late.
