When one travels around Beerwah town , we can only see filth and garbage scattered around. Irony is that the only public toilet constructed by local Muncipal Committee is locked from last one year and people are forced to urinate in open. The women are the worst sufferers and face lot of mental ordeal in absence of a public toilet.
Locals allege that Muncipal Committee is dumping all the garbage in Sukhnaag river which flows through the town . The dumping of garbage in river has polluted the water-body. " There is no garbage dumping site in the town and Muncicipal Committee is forced to throw the garbage in "Sukhnag" nallah" said a local resident Fayaz Ahmad
" We saw a huge advertisement in few prominent dailies of Kashmir , wherein local block committee of National Conference claimed that Omar Abdullah brought crores of rupees into Beerwah , but where are these funds ? It is sad that even one public lavatory is not functional in Beerwah town which is the face of this assembly constituency , how can we expect mega development of Beerwah constituency ? We appeal Omar Abdullah our MLA to construct some new public lavatories in Beerwah " Fayaz Ahmad added
