Senapati: In the heart of our town, a vibrant symbol of beautification stands tall – or rather, it used to. For months now, the once-glowing LED signboard, proudly erected by the district administration for aesthetic enhancement, has been nothing but a shadow of its former self. Yet, as social media buzzes with images and complaints about its malfunction, the authorities seem to be turning a blind eye to the issue.

One can’t help but wonder: has the funding for beautification run dry, leaving this once luminous landmark to fade into obscurity? Or is it simply a case of neglect, a personal project forgotten amidst bureaucratic red tape?

The irony is palpable. As some letters flicker and fail to illuminate, the signboard spells out amusingly skewed messages, like “❤️apati.” It’s a comical sight at first glance, but beneath the surface lies a deeper, more troubling truth. The disregard shown by the concerned authorities reflects a systemic failure to prioritize the upkeep of public spaces – a failure that should not be taken lightly.

We urge the authorities to take heed before the public take up this matter into their hands. What may seem like a minor inconvenience now has the potential to escalate into a symbol of collective discontent. It’s not just about a malfunctioning signboard; it’s about accountability, responsibility, and respect for the community.

Let us not allow apathy to dim the light of progress. We implore the concerned authority to address this issue promptly, before the general public feels compelled to take matters into their own hands. Our town deserves better than a glowing sign of neglect.
