The authorities need to take strict action against such violations, and ensure the removal of all encroachments across the green belts. —Varun Sheokand, Faridabad

Waterlogging outside Karna stadium breeding ground for mosquitoes

WATERLOGGING outside the Karna Stadium has turned the area into a breeding ground for mosquitoes, raising health concerns among residents. Due to the poor drainage, water has collected there, creating ideal conditions for mosquito larvae breeding. Residents have raised the issue with the authorities concerned multiple times, but to no avail. The situation is a health hazard, especially with cases of dengue and malaria being on the rise.  —Anuj Singhal, Karnal

Flyover walls defaced in K’shetra

THE Haryana Government has spent lakhs on beautifying the walls of flyovers in Pipli, Kurukshetra, but grafitti by a hotel, the ABVP and a few others have defaced these walls.
