Rain pain: Showers gone, but leave muck behind in many Greater Noida sectors

Noida: Recent rains have triggered widespread sewer overflow problems across Greater Noida, affecting multiple sectors such as Beta 1 and 2, Gamma 1 and 2, Alpha 1 and 2, Delta 1, 2 and 3, and Sector 36. This has led to dirty sewer water accumulating on roads and outside homes, raising significant health concerns for residents. The persistent issue, worsened by the monsoon showers, has created breeding grounds for mosquitoes in stagnant, foul-smelling sewer water. Harinder Bhati, a resident of Sector Beta 1, reported that his area has been facing "a problem of overflowing sewer in Sector Beta 1 for the last several months." He elaborated, "Dirty sewer water is filled outside the houses and on the roads. Even moss has accumulated in it by now. Due to dirty sewer water, the elderly and children in the sector have also started falling ill." Bhati attributed the city-wide problem to "old, rusting pipeline casing, frequent leakages at different locations across the city," warning that "this kind of negligence can increase the risk of viral diseases." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Other residents voiced similar frustrations. Subhash Bhati, RWA president of Sector Alpha 2, maintained that the sector "reeks of foul smell whenever sewer water is left stagnated and untended." Alok Nagar, RWA general secretary of Sector Delta 2, not only called for a clean-up drive but also demanded "the replacement of old sewer and water supply lines." Despite numerous attempts to seek a resolution, Harinder Bhati stated that he has written "several letters and petitions" to GNIDA officials on the matter, but maintained "no redress so far." He further emphasized the severity of the situation, stating, "The residents of Greater Noida sectors have been dealing with the acute problem of sewer overflow for the past couple of months. The problem has worsened during the current monsoon season. Stagnant sewer water in front of homes has become a breeding ground for insects and mosquitoes, posing a significant health hazard." Bhati added, "We have notified nearly all officials of GNIDA's sewer department, from senior managers to ACEOs, but to no avail." A response from GNIDA on the matter is awaited.

Volunteers hold a 4-hour placard vigil every day on Padil–BC Road to curb waste dumping

Mangaluru: In a unique citizen-driven initiative, volunteers have united under the campaign 'Swachategagi Nammondige Neevu, Nimmondige Naavu' to combat the growing issue of waste dumping along the national highway from Padil to BC Road. Launched on World Environment Day, the campaign is a collaborative effort by the Dakshina Kannada district administration, zilla panchayat, Swachh Bharat Mission (Rural), and the gram panchayats of Adyar, Pudu, Thumbe, and Kallige, along with Hasiru Dala, a social impact organisation. Last year, for more than three months, from 5.30am to 9.30am, Nagaraj Raghav Anchan, project manager at Hasiru Dala, stood holding placards at Adyar, urging citizens to stop dumping waste by the roadside, reminding them that it could eventually pollute the Nethravati River. He took up a similar exercise in 2021 when he stood for over three hours daily near the Kallapu stretch of the Nethravati bridge with a similar appeal. He told TOI, "Despite such efforts, illegal dumping between Padil and BC Road worsened, with 20 to 30 black spots identified. Concerned over the growing menace, Anchan approached zilla panchayat deputy secretary Jayalakshmi Raikod. Jayalakshmi is taking the lead in this campaign and has launched 'Waste Dumping Control Squad'. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 오스템 임플란트 받아가세요 임플란터 더 알아보기 Undo These squads, comprising gram panchayat members and Hasiru Dala volunteers, are now stationed at black spots every morning, holding placards and discouraging irresponsible waste disposal. So far, about 20 teams have been formed with support from local panchayats, in addition to a Hasiru Dala team. Plans are also in place to involve schools, youth clubs, and community organisations, encouraging them to dedicate at least one day to the cause. The campaign will continue for the next three months." Anchan said volunteers are also documenting reasons cited by offenders for dumping waste. "Eventually, if violations persist, the panchayat will begin imposing fines. We are hopeful of reducing roadside dumping by at least 90%," he added. The team is also considering deploying volunteers from 8pm to 11pm, a period identified as peak time for illegal dumping. MP takes note The campaign drew attention from Dakshina Kannada MP Capt Brijesh Chowta, who spotted Nagaraj with a placard at Arkula on Friday evening. In a post on X, the MP wrote, "In a world where everyone talks of problems, there are few who take it upon themselves to be part of the solution. Glad to have met Nagraj, who was standing by the roadside at Arkula, holding a placard urging people not to throw garbage by the roadside. More power to such thoughtful citizens who are ensuring Swachh Bharat, as envisioned by our Prime Minister is a reality by relentlessly pursuing it. "The MP said that NH development works are expected to be taken up on this stretch soon and assured him of his support in getting the area cleaned.

Parents made to buy books from pvt publishers at double the cost

1 2 Hyderabad: With schools set to reopen on June 12 for the new academic year, many parents have complained that book prices are skyrocketing, forcing them to spend around Rs 10,000 on books for primary classes alone. They claim that schools are forcing them to purchase books from private publishers when more affordable options are available. "For two children under the age of 10, we paid over Rs 22,000 for books. Why are these books so expensive? What makes them different to books from the National Council of Educational Research and Training or state boards?" asked K Ramana, a parent. Another parent, Sri Lakshmi, said that she had paid Rs 7,000 for her son's nursery books. "I really don't understand what they are going to teach a three-year-old, apart from numbers, the alphabet and rhymes. Why do we have to pay so much just for his books? It just looks like another unregulated area where schools are making money," she added. Parents alleged that, although schools receive discounts from publishers, they do not pass these on to parents. This forces parents to pay the MRP printed on books, leaving managements with a profit margin of 40% to 50%, sometimes even more. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Esta nueva alarma con cámara es casi regalada en Venado Tuerto (ver precio) Verisure Undo "Schools are not supposed to sell books on their premises. However, many schools have stalls set up on campus. Parents are forced to buy books from these stalls at high prices, even though the same books are available more cheaply online or at stalls outside," said K Venkat Sainath, organising secretary of the Hyderabad Schools' Parents Association. The Telangana Education Commission said that they are aware of the issue, having received several complaints from parents. "This is a blatant violation of the rules. Schools are not allowed to sell books. They must release the names of publishers and vendors so that parents can buy from wherever they want. But schools are forcing parents to buy books and even book covers at exorbitant prices from the school itself. The same goes for uniforms, shoes and other items. We are going to raise this issue with the school education department," said PL Vishweshwer Rao, a member of the commission.
