Underground power cables may reduce outages

It is observed that during windy/rainy weather, the electricity supply is abruptly switched off in the city leading to double whammy for residents. Refer “overhead power cables to go underground in four more sectors of Chandigarh”, it is intended to eliminate the hazard posed by overhead transformers and high-tension wires that hang precariously in front of houses and on the edges of slip roads, road berms and parking lots. The same may be approved by the Haryana Electricity Regulatory Commission (HERC) leading to uninterrupted power supply.

Heaps of garbage piled up at dumping ground

In the absence of any government policy to manage the waste collected from various areas in Kaithal, heaps of garbage have piled up at the Khurana road dumping ground, which was selected for this purpose a few years ago. Despite repeated efforts of the MC authorities, it has failed to manage the huge quantity of waste and those having their fields and residential houses in the nearby villages are forced to protest.

Covid norms go for a toss at HUDA ground

The administration which was issuing instructions for Dashera celebrations in advance, found itself helpless when everything went haywire when the time came to burn the effigy of Ravana. Instead of allowing less than 100 persons for the event on the HUDA ground, Narwana, there was a huge gathering and no Covid norms were followed. Nobody was wearing mask and crowds were just jostling with one another. Policemen remained just mute spectator throughout the show

Hospitals without parking spaces

Most of the private hospitals in the area surrounding Kalpana Chawla Government Medical College or elsewhere in Karnal do not have their own parking arrangements. Along with patients, vehicles of doctors and staff working in the hospitals also stand on the roads outside the hospitals, due to which there is always a traffic snarl. The authorities should take concrete steps in this regard and make arrangements for their parking.
