BEAS TRAGEDY: LACK OF GOVERNANCE

Apropos ‘Beas incident result of record cane production this year: Capt (HT Page 4)’, this is a weird description of a disaster of such magnitude. Did the government not regulate the accumulation of molasses and was the mill management oblivious of the consequences? Does the Captain think that the entire world is on a holiday in Manali and can digest such a statement? In Punjab, spill of excessive chemicals from the National Fertiliser Factory and other industries in Nangal have been playing havoc with the aquatic, human and cattle life in and around the Sutlej, for three decades. The CM must stop giving alibis for utter failure of governance.

Surinderjit Singh Sandhu, Amritsar should evolve a new kind of protest, while working at their seats.

MPS Chadha, Mohali future has become more important than the present with exams leading to stress.

MM Goel, Kurukshetra
