Throwing norms to the wind

DESPITE the rising Covid cases in the state, people are not taking necessary precautions and violating the rules. Several shops continue to open till 9 pm in order to earn more and more profits, but people need to be aware that it’s all about their safety. Health is more important than profit. To tackle the surge, it is the need of the hour to follow social distancing and wear masks properly. — Prasna Batra, Kurukshetra

Farmers’ stir must end now

THIS refers to “Khattar’s advice on Sec 144 puts question mark on stir” (The Tribune, April 26). Surely, banning the assembly of more than four persons is a better option to curfews and lockdowns to tame the Covid monster. Farmer leader Rakesh Tikait and others must shed bolt defiance of logic and law in the guise of farmers’ agitation. There is no room for protests in the current situation. Lalit Bharadwaj, Panchkula

Let’s be kind to nature

EVEN after the visit of a WHO team to China, nothing concrete has been found about the origin of Covid-19, although the most prevalent presumption being the transmission of the virus from mammals ie, bats to humans. Indiscriminate butchering of birds, animals, reptiles, mammals, beasts, aquatics etc in slaughterhouses might be the core reason and probable cause of origin of the dangerous virus. Let’s stop transgressing our boundaries by respecting the nature, living, non-living, moving and unmoving beings, which will make this world far safer and humane. Ramit Bagga, Panchkula

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?
