What our readers say: Garbage littered in shimla forests

GARBAGE dumped in forested areas of Shimla is a matter of concern. Not only does this degrade the environment, it also ruins the scenic beauty of the town. The authorities concerned should ensure that garbage is removed from such areas, and fine people who litter in forests. —Vaishali, Shimla

People smoking at the Mall

DESPITE the Mall and the Ridge being no-smoking zones, several people, including tourists, have been seen smoking in these areas. The police should keep a strict vigil on such people, and should take immediate action against them. —Nandita, Shimla

No separate counter for senior citizens

THERE is no separate counter for senior citizens at the sample collection centre at the new OPD here. Due to this, senior citizens have to face a lot of inconvenience. The elderly have to stand in long queues for hours. The hospital administration should establish a separate counter for senior citizens. —Gian Singh, Shimla

Is a civic issue bothering you? Are you agitated over the lack of concern? Is there something heartening that you feel needs to be highlighted? Or a picture which in your opinion ought

to be seen by many, and not just you?
