Sewage overflow leads to unhygienic conditions in Shahabad
A sewer is brimming in the main street of Geeta Colony in the Shahabad Markanda town of Kurukshetra district. The situation has worsened to such an extent that dirty water has started entering houses, posing a threat to the residents’ health. Infants and children, who have weaker immune systems, are more susceptible to contracting diseases. Municipal committee officials say they are helpless as the main pipe is blocked by garbage and removing that is the responsibility of the Public Health Department. The authorities concerned should come up with a solution before the situation is aggravated by the monsoon.
Dr Ravinder Kwatra, Shahabad Markanda
Non-functional streetlights
Streetlights have been installed at many public places in Gurugram, but these are usually off at night. Lights at Mahavir Chowk also seem to be non-functional. This being the main intersection of the city, thousands of people pass this chowk every day. The district administration should address this problem as the lack of lighting at roads may lead to mishaps. Vinay Jain, Gurugram
Power cuts haunt Residents
UNSCHEDULED power cuts are affecting the lives of the people in rural and urban areas of Yamunanagar district adversely. These cuts are mostly being imposed without prior information. Sometimes even inverters run out of power due to the long duration of the cuts. The authorities concerned must act to resolve this problem on priority. Sushil Kumar, Jagadhri
