No end to Stray dog menace in Jagadhri

There hasbeen an unprecedented increase in the number of stray dogs in Jagadhri town for the past several years. Packs of stray dogs can be easily seen in streets of any colony and open areas of the town. They pose a direct threat to the public, especially children and senior citizens. They can be seen roaming all the time in the Chitta Mandir area, near Tejli Khel Stadium and Basant Nagar Colony. The authorities of the Municipal Corporation should solve this problem on a priority basis. Himanshu, Jagadhri

Costly palm trees dry up due to Poor upkeep in Faridabad

Several grown up palm trees were planted on the dividing road of Sectors 12 and 15 here a few years ago, have either dried up or are on the verge of drying up, perhaps due to the poor upkeep by the authorities concerned. While each of the plant had reportedly been procured at a cost of Rs 10,000, the total cost was borne by a leading Industrial Association under a special plantation drive by a former minister. Though the organisers of the drive managed to corner all the glitz and glory, at that time, no one from the authorities or the NGOs came forward to ensure the care and look after of these trees leading to drying up in an unfortunate manner and wastage of funds and efforts. Plantation drives should be taken up only after the assurance or guarantee of the upkeep and not just for the publicity campaigns done normally.

A considerable number of people from nearby areas daily commute to Delhi due to their jobs and business purposes. Some minor mishaps have taken place on the road due to the potholes. The authorities concerned are aware of the issue but are turning a blind eyes to it.
