No coordination among govt departments
Avery beautiful tactile paving and warning blocks footpath, which help and guide the blind to negotiate the right way, was constructed a few months ago by Karnal Smart city, in Sectors 13 and 14 by spending crores of rupees, now the same has been dug up for cleaning drainage pipes and the debris has been left there, which is creating hindrance for the general public. Even after 75 years of Independence there is no coordination among various govt departments neither, the officers nor the contractors have any responsibilities. This is only wastage of public money. The government must formulate policy regarding this so that different departments coordinate among themselves so that public money is not wasted. Rajesh Sharma, Karnal
Pollution, construction, untreated waste dumped in the open
Areas of Greater Faridabad also known as Neharpar in the city has also become a dumping ground of construction waste, with no check by the civic or local administration. Heaps of waste and garbage can be seen dumped in green belts or open space adjoining the main roads.
Even the banks and side strips of the Gurugram and Agra canals located adjoining the bypass highway, have also not been spared by the offenders. Though such an activity is illegal and leads to violation of the regulations of pollution and environment, the authorities concerned such as the Pollution Control Board and the Municipal Corporation, Faridabad, have failed to discharge their duties to curb such an activity.

Power cuts give sleepless nights to residents
Power cuts are being imposed in urban and rural areas of Yamunanagar district every day. As a result of which people are forced to bear the heat during the day. Besides, this problem is also giving sleepless nights to the residents. Sometimes, the duration of the power cuts is so long that even inverters do not have power backup. After working all day, people are not able to sleep properly at night due to power cuts. The Haryana Government should solve this problem at the earliest.

HSVP sectors in bad shape
The HSVP sectors, which are considered posh residential colonies, are crying for maintenance of civic infrastructure. Badly damaged roads present a picture of neglect, while stray dogs and monkeys constantly pose threat to residents. Parks are poorly maintained and many streetlights are dysfunctional. However, the HSVP and other authorities “concerned” are completely unconcerned about the difficulties and inconveniences faced by the residents of these sectors in their day-to-day life. The local municipal councillor also seems helpless and ineffective in getting the concerns of the residents addressed.

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?
