IT is really heartening to see the Panchkula sweet shops putting up the "Best before date label" on the trays of sweets, in compliance with the notification of the Food Safety and Standards Association of India (FSSAI), effective from October 1. This is a step in the right direction to safeguard the health of citizens. However, they must also display the ingredients of the sweets along with the manufacturing date. The sweet shop owners must also show the live CCTV footage of the kitchen where the sweets are prepared to clear all doubts of customers regarding the food and hygiene. — Ramit Bagga, Panchkula
Spike in air pollution
ON Thursday, when I went out for my routine morning walk, the visibility outside was very poor. Earlier, I thought it to be fog, but soon I felt difficulty in breathing and irritation in eyes and realised it was smog. The major reason behind this sudden rise in air pollution is the recent common practice of stubble burning by farmers. Despite repeated requests by the government, most of the farmers don't look for eco-friendly ways to deal with stubble and thus, we must keep ourselves prepared, for the situation may worsen in the coming days. — Ramesh Gupta, Narwana
Model Town Lacks basic amenities
THE Model Town area is known as one of the posh areas of the Ambala City, but the real picture is different. Damaged roads, poor sewage system and heaps of garbage lying along the houses is a common sight here. If I am asked to mark the area on a scale of progress in Swacchta Abhiyan, I would mark it below zero. The administration must look into the matter and get the needful done to address the resident' woes. — NS Sodhi, Ambala City
Negligence in payment of allowance
I wish to draw the attention of the state government towards the negligence in payment of the fixed medical allowance (FMA). The state government had enhanced the payment of FMA from Rs 500 to Rs 1,000 with effect from May 2018. But, it is not being paid to the families of deceased government employees due to some glitch in the software. The concerned department is requested to get the necessary changes made in the software as soon as possible. — Jagmendar Singh Jain, Sector 15 A, Hisar
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?
