Where have the footpaths gone?



Sometimes, you do wish to take a stroll in the market with your spouse, or take an outing on foot. But, you have to walk on the road as the footpath is simply disappearing (due to varied reasons, eg, encroachment, `thelewallas’, piling garbage, or construction material etc). Authorities do widen roads to accommodate increased presence of cars, scooters and mo-bikes, but do so by keeping their eyes closed towards the convenience of pedestrians. While mentioning The New Indian Express (June 18, 2013) as the source of accompanying picture, I wish to reiterate that footpaths are an essential walking ground for pedestrians, and authorities would do well to ensure their proper up-keep!
