NH-71 full of potholes

Within a couple of months of the inauguration of the Jind-Narwana National Highway 71, it has developed deep potholes putting the lives of commuters at risk. Union Minister Nitin Gadkari had inaugurated the NH. The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) must repair the potholes immediately. —Ramesh Gupta, Narwana

Waterlogging A perennial issue

Mild showers and the apathy of the district administration surfaces. Waterlogging in front of the main post office at Sector 8 in Panchkula has been a perennial problem, inviting the ire of residents. The other problem is the uncovered manhole. It is a case of trying to fit a round peg in a square (man)hole, literally. Does the administration care? It doesn’t seem so. —Kumar Gupt, Panchkula

Stray cattle on the rise

The Panchkula administration has been sleeping on the issue of stray cattle in Sector 21 of Panchkula. A herd of cows on roads is a common site, posing risk to the lives of commuters. Sometimes, residents’ feet get dirty with cow dung while walking on roads. It seems the district administration is in no mood to find a solution to the long-pending problem. —Atul, Panchkula.

Misspelt words common in Kaithal

It pains me to see misspelt English words written in Haryana Roadways buses and on hoardings. The other day I was travelling in a roadways bus and I noticed ‘Modal 2012’ and ‘Sheets 52’ written near the driver’s seat. It should have been ‘Model 2012’ and ‘Seats 52’. At some places, I see ‘bypass’ being misspelt as ‘byepass’. The spellings of ‘confectionery’ and ‘restaurant’ are often misspelt on hoardings in Kaithal. This leaves a negative impact on the language of school-going children, who learn by observing things. It is the duty of the parents to make their children learn the correct spellings. —Kapil Sharma, Kaithal
