Wastage of money in name of beautification

The Tribune: Karnal: Thursday, September 05, 2019.
The Information Commissioner has been appointed under RTI Act but till now, the court room has not been constructed for the functioning of these three courts. 
A VIP road at Karnal has erected concrete structures around trees which has resulted in multiple problems. The already narrow road has been narrowed further because of these multiple structures on both sides of the road. The parking space has been further reduced. As per NGT regulations, it is illegal to construct such structures around trees as these suffocate the stem. No concern has been given to aesthetics as these structures are haphazard and looks ugly. :Dr SC Singhal
Waterlogging a big issue in residential area
Faridabad: Residential Sector 8 here has a rain water drainage problem. Whenever there is rain, most roads get submerged. For hours, residents have to wade through knee-deep water for any work. While vehicles get stuck and damaged by rain water, the residents have to face waterlogging for many days. The accumulated water results in germination of mosquito larvae and damages roads also. :Ashok Tiwari
Streetlights remain on in daytime
Panchkula: Streetlights remain on till noon at Fatehpur village, Sector-20, Panchkula, on a daily basis. It consumes a lot of non-renewable energy. The need for streetlights is till 6 am, but these are on till 11 am. People have lodged many complaints at the 66KV power house located within Sector-20, but the authorities concerned (Municipal Corporation of Panchkula) have not looked into the matter. :Aman Jain
Court rooms yet to come up
Karnal: After the formation of the BJP state government under the leadership of CM Manohar Lal Khattar, Karnal got the status of a division. Later, HRERA Appellate Tribunal was established here. The Information Commissioner has been appointed under RTI Act but till now, the court room has not been constructed for the functioning of these three courts. For this reason, the Divisional Commissioner and Information Commissioner are currently using the Deputy Commissioner’s court room in the Mini Secretariat. On the other hand, many executive officers have been allocated separate court rooms in the Mini Secretariat, but they never sit in these rooms. Most of these officers are busy in the field. Therefore, the government should immediately construct court rooms for HRERA Appellate Tribunal, Commissioner and Information Commissioner and establish a permanent court headed by an HCS officer and an Appellate Court headed by the IAS which will spend the day hearing and settling court cases. :Shakti Singh
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?
