Need to check axing of trees at Panchkula park

A vacant Mango Garden, house to a number of peacocks (the national bird), adjacent to Suncity Parikrama, Sector 20, Panchkula, has turned into a garbage dumping site and various activities such as encroachment, axing of trees and fire hazards add to the woes of the Sector 20 locals. These activities are causing serious damage to the natural environment there due to lack of fencing and habitat of various forms of wildlife and birds is also vanishing. Keeping the World Environment Day in view, I request the authorities to conserve these “green lungs” of the planet before it is too late.

Encroachment by vendors in Panchkula market IRKS Commuters

Several vegetable/fruit vendors have encroached upon a road of Panchkula Sector 21 market. Even customers don’t act responsibly there and park their vehicles near such vendors resulting in traffic chaos. The irony of the situation is that the market is situated just adjacent to a police post and still the situation is bad. Due to this negligence, many accidents occur at the market daily. The administration must look into the issue and get the needful done immediately.

Encourage NGOs to set up mini-Covid care centres

The Chandigarh administration’s initiative of appealing to the public, any individual, association, voluntary organisation, NGO, religious organisation, corporate, firm or trust to come forward for setting up mini-Covid care centres needs to be replicated by other state/district administrations. Among most of the Covid patients, mild/moderate infections can be easily handled there and this will surely reduce pressure on the government infrastructure. Local administrations must facilitate such ventures and provide guidance, supervision and regulation for the same.

Govt must deploy more doctors, paramedics

Owing to the alarming surge in number of Covid cases in the state, the Kaithal district administration has set up 104-bed dedicated Covid health centre at Chhotu Ram Indoor Stadium and steps were underway to set up another 50-bed Covid centre at Hindu Girls Senior Secondary School on Ambala Road here. The officials, led by Deputy Commissioner Sujan Singh, inspected the stadium to ensure that besides beds, other facilities required for the effective treatment of Covid patients were in place. Surprisingly, despite the surge, the government is yet to appoint sufficient number of doctors and paramedics in the district. The government must immediately post more health staff lest it is too late.
