Dhaba owners fleecing HRTC bus travellers

Eating joints on the Sanwara-Dharampur stretch, authorised by the HRTC for the halt of buses going towards Chandigarh from Shimla and vice versa, are overcharging passengers. I took two paranthas with a cup of tea and was charged Rs80. When I enquired about the price, the person at the cash counter said a parantha cost Rs35. HRTC buses stop at places, which are far-off from the main town, and dhaba owners get a chance to fleece travellers. The authorities should take action against such dhaba owners. Tushar, Shimla

Public toilet in bad shape in Mandi

The public toilet at Avahdevi, Sarkaghat, Mandi district, is in bad shape. It is not cleaned on a regular basis and also needs to be repaired. Foul smell emitting from the toilet further aggravates the situation. The panchayat should make efforts to repair the toilet. Sant Ram, Mandi
