Waterlogged road a Chronic problem

The Una to Takka road, near the Kotla-Kalan junction, has been facing a chronic problem of waterlogging during rains. Despite repeated road strengthening and raising its level, the problem continues to persists, due to lack of roadside drains. After a long shower, water level on the road rises to over a foot-and-a-half, leaving two-wheelers stranded on both sides. — Vivek Kumar, Una

Construction material dumped on Dehra-Ranital NH

The contractors building retaining walls on the Dehra-Ranital National Highway have dumped their construction material on the road, making it dangerous to drive on the stretch, especially during the night. The width of the road has been reduced to a single lane, with just one vehicle passing at a time. The material has been lying on the road for over two months. Just to save some labour and expenses, the contractor is playing with the life of commuters. The authorities concerned should take action against such contractors. — Vinod Kumar, Dehra
