Sir, It is very unfortunate that a lot of women in Gokulam have stopped going on evening walks because of the alarming rise in the number of eve-teasing incidents. The area around Ex-MLA Ramdas’ house and near Lions Sevaniketan School are particularly unsafe due to lack of street-lights. Even girls as young as 11 years…
Sir, As Ganesha festival is fast approaching, the city footpaths are dotted with huge idols of Lord Ganesha (of different colours made out of clay and Plaster of Paris).

This near 600 m stretch is adorned by many heritage structures, including the Law Courts and the Zilla Panchayat, on its sides. With wide footpaths on both the sides and hosting a beautiful…

Also, there are no road humps or signal lights or Traffic Police to patrol the busy junction. This leads to frequent accidents at the Circle.
