Garbage lying unattended on road

The careless and callous behaviour of the municipal authorities of Shahabad Markanda can be guessed from the accompanied photograph. Stray cattle feed on plastic bags dumped with the garbage on roads. Also, the littered Kutia road mocks the false promises made by the leaders during the elections. This is one of the common routes which lead to important destinations such as Brara Road, GT Road, Kutia Gurdev Niwas, Markanda Mandir and Gurdwara Manji Sahib. The conditions of the stinky road are very unhygienic which add to the commuters’ woes. Such pathetic conditions have been prevailing here for a long time. The authorities must look into the issue and do the needful as soon as possible.

Simian terror in Panchkula

The growing number of monkeys has become a serious threat to residents of Sector 8, Panchkula. They usually come in groups and often damage various items kept outside the house, including flower pots, and the hapless residents have no options to deal with the menace. At times, they also pounce on people. Before stepping out of the house, we have to ensure that there are no monkeys around. The civic authority must do something as simians have become more dangerous than stray cattle on the road.

Ease process of releasing compensation award

The online process of releasing the enhanced amount of compensation awarded by the District Courts, High Court or Supreme Court of land acquired after depositing it by the concerned departments or authorities into the executing courts is very complex and lengthy. When the enhanced compensation amount is presented to the courts executing across the state, they hand it over to the treasury in their own name. The compensation amount deposited in the treasury is released by the executive courts in favour of the landowners/decree holders only after obtaining the CCD number from the treasury, which takes so many days. The High Court is requested to expedite and simplify the process of releasing the compensation amount deposited in the executing courts at district level. The compensation amount should be deposited directly in the name of the concerned court with the State Bank of India instead of depositing it in the treasury and the same should be further transferred into the degree holder’s bank account on the court’s order.
