Work on Hali park project halted for 8 months

The Hali park and lake project was approved for renovation three years back and a sum of Rs 24 crore was sanctioned for the purpose. Around Rs 14 crore have already been spent on the project, but the work has been lying suspended for the past eight months. Public money spent will go waste if the project is not completed. The historical park having trees that are over 100 century old is like the oxygen bag of the city. The park once completed can reduce pollution in the city. There is a need to highlight this matter, so that Panipat residents can breathe fresh air and enjoy boat riding.

Sewage, Garbage disposal problems on city outskirts

People living on the outskirts of Fatehabad are facing sewage and garbage disposal problems. The process to make the facilities available to the locals has been hanging fire for years. I came here at the age of 7 and since then there has been a lot of development. However, even after 17 years of development and endured duration of both the national parties in the city, the aforementioned problems still persist. The city has extended but the officials, it seems, are unaware of it. Most of the people here dispose of the sewage on roads, which has become a problem for pedestrians. So, the steps should be taken to improve the situation, thus providing us a sigh of relief from such a basic but huge problem. Pooja, Fatehabad.

Shoppers flood Markets, admn in deep slumber

During the ongoing festival season, markets are flooded with people throughout the day. The main reasons for the rush are the increasing number of vehicles and illegal encroachments by shopkeepers. The administration is not making any arrangements to identify specific parking slots and not taking any action against unlawful encroachers. With the Covid pandemic taking its toll but, it appears, the administration is in a deep slumber. It must awake and act.
