Hon.DM Sahib; Noida is a money spinning wheel of UP. After a long time there is some movement in improvement. But what about issues like Corruption in Noida- Absence of implementation of traffic rules- the regular Subji Mandi in sector 81 thrown out in the open roads causing inconvience to both the public and the traders- the Open Nullah running accros the city spreading diseases all over - open garbege dumps all around Noida - illegal fruit and food steet howkers all over the town of Noida -raking mullah for some in the administration etc.etc. A lot needs to be done before we start self praises and self assissments. Hope we see some genuine constructive changes in th coming times. more

Unfortunately, the so called sprinkling pipes are drilled with holes which are 3mm in dia. This is a sheer waste of water. What is needed is tankers with pressurised sprinkling systems which would spray very fine droplets. This would be far more effective and would not waste a hell of a lot of water. The area of sprinkling which such tankers would cover would be 8-10 times more than the usual pipes with 3 MM holes apart from being much more effective. more
