Global warming

It is highly disturbing to learn that global warming is adversely affecting mankind and destroying natural resources. The increasing global warming is a big threat for the entire world. The flawed policies are largely responsible for it. Time and again scientists have already brought to the notice of policymakers that the increasing temperatures may destroy earth in near future.

Rising sea level, frequent cyclones, earthquakes, heat waves, drought, heavy rain and decrease of groundwater table are clear indicators of global warming. Besides, rapid and unplanned urbanisation is also one of the reasons for global warming. Further, the increase in automobiles and their emission is also responsible. It's time policymakers created awareness among people and initiated steps to save the earth from disaster.

Improve water supply

Though not idealistic and commendable, the Guntakal Municipal authorities are regularly supplying water nowadays, once in four days. But the supply needs to be punctual with a little intelligent planning. This would avoid inconvenience to people who have to manage their affairs both inside and outside their homes. They are requested to supply water once in three days, because of the already severe summer and because the reservoirs being full.

Accidents at level crossing

In Anantapur, the ever-busy Ramachandra Nagar manned-level crossing is in the heart of the town, beside railway station. The problem here is pedestrians try to cross the gate, generally anticipating the speed rate of trains, as the station is near to the gate. But, they are unaware of high-speed goods trains and route diverted trains that pass through falling prey to accidents. If steps to minimise the speed for non-stop trains are taken, accidents can be avoided. But at the same time people, on their part should also be patient and wait till the train passes. Hope the railway authorities look into this aspect.
