Roads dug up to lay gas pipeline not repaired in Karnal

The agency assigned to lay gas pipelines in the houses had dug up pits on roads in front of the houses at various places in Sector 12 part 2. This company has again dug up pits on the road in front of the houses to start the gas supply in these pipelines. Many pits have been dug on the road for the past several days, in which any untoward accident can happen at any time. Therefore, the district administration and IGL company should fill these pits and repair the road at the earliest.

Open drain junction poses risk to passersby

The enclosed picture shows the 45 years old open drain junction. The people above 50 years are witness that this road was repaired for the first time in near about 1976 or 77. Since then this hole has been lying open. At that time the office of the Municipal Committee was just quite adjacent to it which has now shifted near police chowki. Almost all the staff members of the Municipal committee pass this way as this is the most busy road of the city bearing the rush of committee bazaars, three schools, CHC, two banks etc. This is a death trap for many stray animals. Human beings are lucky enough to make hue and cry when they fall in it. You can imagine what happens when it rains heavily. Earlier also through this newspaper, I made a request to the authorities to cover it. If it is covered, it will not only reduce the risk of accidents but also the road will be broadened to facilitate the rush in peak hours.
