Knee-deep water on road disrupts normal life

THE road from Saheed Chowk, Sector 10, leading to Gate Number 15, Sector 9, is one of the busiest roads in the city. It is a sorrow state of affairs that recent incessant rain caused havoc in the area and knee-deep water could be seen causing inconvenience to commuters. Waterlogged road disrupts normal life. The sewerage and drainage system are of abysmal level. The administration must look into the issue immediately and do the needful. Veena P Kansal, Ambala City

Govt must pay more attention to health, edu sector

EVEN after 73 years of Independence, India is among the backward nations in the world because our country neglected two important sectors – education and medicine. Our governments paid very little attention and spent very little on education and medicine. Both of these services should be made accessible to every person in the nation. After around 34 years, the government recently formulated a new education policy, which includes long-awaited reforms. Syllabus of all subjects should be made same in all schools and the publication price of books should be at government rates. Like other developed nations, if we pay attention towards these sectors we can lead our nation to higher levels too. Shakti Singh, Karnal

Disturbing incidents of crime at Covid patients’ homes

RECENT incidents of crimes reported from the homes of Covid-positive patients are very disturbing. Reportedly, some burglars struck into the house of a Covid patient and escaped with Rs 3 lakh and jewelry worth Rs15 lakh. The victim said his wife had tested positive for the virus due to which his tenant and a neighbour was under quarantine too. He along with his children was living with his relatives after locking his house and when his neighbour reached home after completing his quarantine, he found the lock of the house broken and found that Rs 3 lakh and jewelry worth more than Rs 15 lakh was missing. Similar incident was reported on July 19, when thieves broke into three houses in Bapudham area. Authorities should look into the issue and keep a tab on the increasing rate of crime in such cases. Popele too must realise their duty and act responsible towards such incidents and help the administration to curb the crime rate. Vidya Sagar Garg, Panchkula
