Hoardings at roundabouts. Daily I see that holdings are install at round about of city , obstacle the persons driving the vahicles. Even I see road direction boards installed at height (near cooperative bank) coverd with cm poster. Is it fair ? It is a banned install and the person who install and for should be punished with heavy fine just collect and dump is remmedy. Officer should be censored
Stagnation of rain water on roads. It damage roads and create difficulties for general public. Nallas built along the roads are filled with plastic throw away materials, bricks and mud. Not cleaned . Please clean before the rains and also please collect immediately from the place (it is seen that the mud from clean malls remain there and it smell foul and create pollution for many days). Now again animals are seen on roads create hindrance for drivers and cause accidents. Please check.
Administration of MC Thanesar is so corrupt that he did not remove encroachment from park and public street in TP scheme 5 Jyotinagar Kurukshetra. I had lodged a complaint in these regard to cm window vide complaint no cmoff/n/22326 on January 2015. But no response is recived from administration. Hope to get justice promptly.
