GUJJAR Nala is a deep and dangerous rivulet. When I go to my university in the morning I have to cross Gujjar Nala using the bridge made of light steel, which is in a poor shape.

This has made this bridge dangerous for people. A few children have died in the rainy season while crossing this dilapidated steel bridge, which has no railings on its sides.

This polluted nullah also poses health hazards, for it spreads several diseases and is a breeding ground for mosquitoes. The authorities concerned should look into these issues.
