Building material lying near roads poses danger

Many traders selling sand and other building materials in Kaithal town occupy road berms to conduct their business. This inconveniences road users and leads to accidents at times. The situation gets aggravated during the rainy season and winter when the visibility becomes poor and vehicle drivers fail to take notice of huge heaps of building material lying on the road sides on government land. All this had been going on for decades but no effective action has ever been taken against violators.

Save trees from being axed in Panchkula park

Earlier, residents have reported illegal axing of trees at the HSVP Park in Panchkula. We request the authorities to look into this matter and ensure that no more trees are axed and no illegal activities, encroachment and wood burning is carried out in this park. We also request that the trees be counted and numbered. The fencing should be done with barbed wires around the boundary to stop trespassing. We request the department to conduct a survey the mango orchard, adjacent to Suncity Parikrama, Kundi, Sector-20, Panchkula, as several trees are already being axed.

Prices of medical treatment, tests must be fixed

Medical treatment and medicines should be cheap, easily available and affordable for every citizen of the country, but it is a pity that they are very expensive. There is also a huge difference in the rates of all types of tests at government hospital labs, private labs and private hospital labs. When I got my checkup done at the multispecialty hospital, they got my CBC and blood sugar test done in the lab located inside the hospital, for which they charged Rs 400. Again, when I got the same test done in a private lab located on Kunjpura Road, they charged me only Rs120. I request the Central and state governments to fix rates for medical treatment, facilities and medicines. Their rate list should be pasted at the outside counter.
