appearance of Astley Hall buildings along with Gandhi Park modification are
also included in the project. Dehradun is surely developing with a great pace, it
has progressed a great deal in past few years. Flyover, numerous societies or
flats, apartments, malls and also many colleges and schools have been built and
families come here from various parts of India to provide good education to
their children. However, there are things very important to execute that are still
missing.
It's absurd that the whole Rajpur Road that's considered to be the posh area,
don't even have a single proper dustbin. The poly bags of household wastes are
lying and literally dumped in so many places where ever there are bare lands,
making all the street animals tear the poly bags in search of food and drag it
towards the main roads creating the huge mess.
Once the all season river Rispana and Bindal have now turned into runnels or
the city dustbin with the enormous heaps of waste. It is unlikely to believe that
Rispana is a perennial stream that was revealed by Roorkee, National Institute
of Hydrology (NIH) and now even the sight of it makes one feel nauseous. The
dissolved oxygen level of the water is extremely less, it's highly polluted and
the deposition of so many nutrients, detergent, fertilizers, and phosphates is
leading towards eutrophication, the depletion of the water bodies.
It's very common in our country that all the construction works take way more
time than required to complete. To create a smart city the basic necessities of
people should be fulfilled first, electricity without any power cut, clean water
supply, proper roads is very important even inside colonies and not just the
main roads, for avoiding any sort of accident, major or minor and for public
comfort.
Government hospitals, affordable to poor people should be available. Most of
the government hospitals are in worst conditions, just because those are for poor
people does not mean that it should be degraded. Proper facilities, infrastructure
should be taken into consideration. Doctors and medicines should available on
time, the equipment should be clean and sterilized.
To finish the target on time with in five years, the government and all the gov-
ernment officials responsible along with the labors have to be really efficient.
