Harbans Kumar, resident of Gangyal said that this initiative should have been taken much earlier and now government is taking, we welcome it and hope the channa-lization work will start soon.
The recent floods have created havoc in both the regions of the state and has damaged the very basic infrastructure which will take years together to rebuild. Rita, from Trikuta Nagar said that the minister who is also a legislator of our area has taken good initiative and it is a welcome step taken at right time.The nullah small and big should be channelized at all levels and the recent floods should be taken as a warning from the nature.
Mohammad Ayub, a property dealer of Channi Kamala was of the view that people have themselves encroached the nullahs and are responsible for the nature's fury, it is our prime duty to remove encroachments and give way to flood waters through nullah to move, he said and added that better late than never, if government has taken this initiative, it should be welcomed by one and all and people also should cooperate with the government. |
