Dear Editor,

About 6:15 am on Monday April 2, 2008, while walking on the Aurora public road not too far away from the police station, I noticed some children crossing and other road signs uprooted and lying by the side of the public road and some in a nearby drain.

I called the police at the Aurora police station which is about two hundred metres away using my cell phone. The phone rang out and continued to do so, so I walked to the station.
Having got there I told the constable on duty that I was calling this station repeatedly and no one was answering. I was totally surprised when he told me the telephone has been down (not receiving or sending calls ) nearly three weeks now……
