Direction board needs prompt attention


Although direction boards serve a basic purpose of providing guidance to innocent travellers, there are instances wherein some of them exist in a neglected condition.

In the interest of travellers it is absolutely necessary for the concerned authorities to provide a facelift to this dilapidated signboard so that it serves its basic purpose on a permanent basis. 

Prompt favourable action in this regard would certainly be appreciated by one and all.
