Black-top roads, lanes in Old City

A visit to the Old Cty is enough to understand how the historic past of Jammu has been left to die. Added to this is the apathy of government agencies who have left roads and lanes with huge potholes. There has been no effort to blacktop the area where underground sewerage pipes were laid. The new UT Government should take steps to beautify and decongest the old city. —Naresh Abrol, jain bazaar

JMC needs policy for stay cattle rehab

The JMC a few days ago started a campaign against stray cattle in the Channi Himmat area. We welcome the step, but the authorities should come up with concrete policy to deal with the issue. There is need for a cattle rehabilitation centre. So far, the JMC lifts cattle but they are shifted from one place and released in other areas. —Pankaj Sharma, channi

Dumping garbage into Jhelum

At the Safa Kadal bridge, one often sees load carriers stopping and dumping garbage, including rotten vegetables and fruits, into the Jhelum. Not only this, sometimes non-biodegradable items are also dumped into the river. The government should develop a mechanism, so that people dumping garbage into rivers are caught and penalised. —Shaista, Safa Kadal Resident

Pathetic condition of roads

THE inner roads in the Eidgah area are in a bad condition. They are full of potholes, which fill with water and mud at the slightest rain or snow. The government, it seems, is least bothered about the problems of people. —Ahmed, Eidgah Resident
