Ban country bombs

Country bombs and crackers are being used during functions such as weddings, receptions, puberty ceremonies, and ear-piercing events, as well as in political gatherings. This practice, especially in urban areas, cause serious environmental and public health concerns. Explosion of country bombs not only creates excessive noise pollution but also spreads waste and harmful pollutants, affecting the cleanliness of public spaces. These bombs, being cheaper than branded crackers, are widely used as a status symbol, disregarding their negative impacts. The deafening noise severely affects pedestrians, motorists and residents, especially heart patients, the elderly, and those with hearing sensitivity. Prolonged exposure to such loud blasts can lead to permanent hearing impairment and other health complications. I urge the government to take strict measures to ban use of country bombs and high-decibel crackers in public and crowded places.

Bring order near bus stand

Most of the mofussil and town buses prefer to stop on the road near the exit of the Sempatti bus stand to take and drop passengers, causing traffic snarl most of the time. Vendors take advantage of this and sell fruits and edibles to the passengers in the buses making the road more congested. The authorities concerned should find a solution to this problem so that the vehicles passing through this road may have easy passage to their destinations.
