STOP PROMOTING TAJ

According to Karan Thapar, Taj Mahal is a victim of prejudice. Only a journalist like him can think so. The monument will remain where it is without doubt. Why make a mountain out of a mole hill? There are hundreds of tourist spots in India. Why doesn’t the journalist in him rise to the occasion and promote the Golden Temple? Rajasthan has religious temples-cumtourist spots that can be promoted. Let’s stop promoting only the Taj Mahal. Colonial culture has to be given a burial. People look forward to a journalist to make a fair assessment of an issue without sensationalising it. Dr Devinder Garg,

Chandigarh tractor-trolleys ply without reflectors. Slow speed vehicles usually move on the innermost lane of the road. Crossing them at a high speed is a risk.stray cattle grazing on the middle green belt of the road are life-threatening. Roadside parking is common. Even road signs are faulty. Road barriers are full of advertisement boards and posters in violation of court rulings. Fatal accidents take place often. The administration should take steps for the safety of commuters.

Amritsar to provide quality education to girls. Haryana chief minister ML Khattar has taken an important step to empower women. Haryana is the only state to have all-woman police stations in all districts. The complainants, who hesitate to go to police stations to avoid awkward questions and harassment by male cops, can now lodge their complaints without fear.
