No end to Stray dog menace in Jagadhri

Costly palm trees dry up due to Poor upkeep in FaridabadSeveral grown up palm trees were planted on the dividing road of Sectors 12 and 15 here a few years ago, have either dried up or are on the verge of drying up, perhaps due to the poor upkeep by the authorities concerned. While each of the plant had reportedly been procured at a cost of Rs 10,000, the total cost was borne by a leading Industrial Association under a special plantation drive by a former minister. Though the organisers of the drive managed to corner all the glitz and glory, at that time, no one from the authorities or the NGOs came forward to ensure the care and look after of these trees leading to drying up in an unfortunate manner and wastage of funds and efforts. Plantation drives should be taken up only after the assurance or guarantee of the upkeep and not just for the publicity campaigns done normally.Yogesh Sharma, FaridabadPotholed road a threat to life of commutersA stretch of the Najafgarh road in Badli town here is in a deplorable condition. Deep potholes developed on the road are posing a serious threat to the life of commuters who have no other option except to go to Delhi following the closure of Tikri border. A considerable number of people from nearby areas daily commute to Delhi due to their jobs and business purposes. Some minor mishaps have taken place on the road due to the potholes. The authorities concerned are aware of the issue but are turning a blind eyes to it.Krishan Kumar, BadliWhat our readers sayIs a civic issue bothering you? Are you agitated over the lack of concern?
