Maharaja Hari Singh Park in poor state
Jammu has very less number of parks and Maharaja Hari Singh Park, where the Jammu Development Authority(JDA) also charges tickets to enter the park, is ill-maintained. The garbage is littered everywhere while some of the joyrides and swings are also broken. But the JDA authorities have not bothered to maintain it properly. It is the responsibility of the contractor, who charges for the entry, to maintain the park.Kindly maintain the park. Sunidhi Sharma, Jullaka Mohalla
Few traffic cops to manage Bari Brahmana Chowk
It seems the Bari Brahmana Chowk is waiting for tragedy to happen as the crossing has high density of traffic and there are only a few traffic policemen to regulate the vehicular movement. They have failed to manage the traffic at the chowk and traffic lights also remain switched off most of the time. Since it is part of the Jammu-Pathankot highway and connects the industrial area of Bari Brahmana, the chowk always remain busy. It becomes difficult to cross the chowk during peak hours.Provide more policemen to manage traffic. Praveen Sharma, Bari Brahmana
Make way for ambulances
Traffic jam is a chronic and consistent problem in Srinagar now. While commoners continue to suffer as it looks that the government is seemingly doing nothing on ground to address the issue, the silent sufferers of the traffic mess are the critically ill patients being taken in ambulances to various hospitals. I see a lot of ambulances caught up in the traffic mess and some may have lost their lives in traffic jams. While the government should take steps to ensure free passage for the ambulances up to major hospitals, it is responsibility of the citizens, too, to make way for ambulances as it could save a human life.

Penalise those using water boosters
After the damage to the Sindh extension canal earlier this month, the water supply to many areas in city has been affected. The administration has taken some measures to provide water supply to the affected areas. The sad part, however, is that some residents are using water boosters that makes other residents suffer. While the Public Health Engineering Department should take immediate measures to restore the canal, at the same time they should identify and later penalise consumers who are using water boosters.
