Over a dozen manholes lying open in Kaithal

MANHOLES lying uncovered for the last over 10 days between the PWD Rest House and Vishwakarma Chowk on Ambala road in Kaithal town have virtually turned into death traps as any person or cattle can fall in these holes. Due to the rain last night, over a dozen manholes lying open were not visible due to accumulation of rain water on the road on Sunday morning posing risk to lives of passersby. It is learnt that the PWD started the work of desilting the choked sewer manholes late. The department should expedite the process to cover open manholes to avoid any mishap.

Erratic power supply

WE wish to bring to the notice of the power authorities the problems being faced by residents of Sector 16 and other sectors of Panchkula. The power supply to Sector 16, more often remains erratic due to faulty transformers as they cannot take the load resulting in damage and loss to gadgets. Invariably, there are prolonged outages during the peak hours and nights. The problem persists throughout the year. Numerous complaints have been lodged and requests made to the higher authorities over time, but no action has been taken so far. The authorities must look into the issue and get the needful done.

Poor upkeep of monuments

THE Kalsia Riyasat Chhachharauli fort in Yamunanagar district is in a state of neglect. The government has housed some of its offices in this large fort having high boundary wall. Even religious building also exists, but the dilapidated main entrance shows the apathy of the Central and state government towards its upkeep. It will be appropriate, if the Archaeological Survey of India can get it repaired once and day to day management may be given to the Haryana Tourism Corporation to preserve the historical monument.

No end to Stray dog menace

MANY complaints regarding stray dogs menace and the increasing number of dog bite cases have been reported to the maintenance agency set up by Ansal Group for the welfare of Ansal Town, Sector 20, Jagadhari residents, but no step has been initiated by them to check the menace. Stray dogs chase and bark at passersby every now and then. Several incidents of dog bites have been reported in this sector, but the above authorities have not taken any action.

Plant one sapling each this monsoon

THE monsoon has arrived and each one of us should plant at least one sapling. It can be done in our house/garden/locality/public park or along a road. Once planted, we must also look after it. Let this season see an increase in the number of trees in Ambala. This will not only give us happiness and satisfaction, but also help in improving our environment. Colonel R D Singh, Ambala Cantt
