Stray cattle menace

Need to check overcharging by taxi operators

The taxi operators of tourist areas are fleecing tourists as there is no regulation on the fares charged by them. Generally, the rate is Rs 10 per km for a sedan car and Rs 16 per km for Innova, but the taxi drivers are charging Rs 8,000 for a sedan from Manali to Rohtang for a distance of 102 km, which comes out to be around Rs 78 per km. The taxis should be metered and fares should be regulated by the administration, the Tourism Department and the RTO. Santosh, Kullu

Overflowing sewer a nuisance for kullu residents

The septic tank of the Bajaura Housing Board Colony has been leaking for the past many days and foul smell has become a headache for nearby houses and shopkeepers along the road. The unhygienic condition can lead to major health problems and there is a danger of disease outbreak. The Kullu SDM had visited the spot but the housing colony management has not found any permanent solution to this nuisance to date. The government and the administration should find a solution to this problem at the earliest. Gyan Chand, Bajaura, Kullu
