Mendar, Jan 11: People of area have expressed fear of a possible outbreak of infectious diseases due to poor disposal of garbage in the city for the past few months.
People have alleged apathy of the Rural Development Department Mendhar and Tehsil administration in this regard.
A spot check in the town revealed that the area is littered with piles of garbage and overflowing sewage that threaten outbreak of infectious diseases. People have expressed concern over the safety of children, saying they risk contracting diseases due to poor hygiene in the area.
They alleged that due to non-lifting of garbage on a regular basis by the sanitation staff of the RDD Mendhar , a majority of bins kept on roads have virtually turned into garbage dump and demanded immediate lifting of garbage from the town.
The schools, children play near garbage heaps, exposing them to health hazard, Rakesh Gupta , a local resident said.
Local shopkeepers of Mendhar market also raised concern over falling numbers of customers keeping off due to dump of garbage in front of our shops as there is no one to collect it.
He said that one could easily gauge the effectiveness of the municipal corporation working and administrations' apathy that despite lapse of more than four months it failed to identify new dumping ground.
He said that it was quite amazing that despite protest by traders and residents, RDD Mendhar and Tehsil administration had turned a bling eye towards the problem that can increase the risk of an epidemic outbreak. |
