| Bus Stand turns garbage dumping site | | | Early Times Report
Mendhar, June 28: The residents of Mendhar have expressed strong resentment against Municipal Committee (MC) for turning the bus stand into a garbage dumping site.
The local residents, including the shopkeepers and drivers, said the municipal authorities collect tons of garbage from many areas of Mendhar town and dump it at the main bus stand.
They said the pungent smell emanating from the bus stand was causing inconvenience to them. The residents said the bus stand has become a breeding ground for stray dogs and cattle. "The MC employees dump tons of garbage at the bus stand almost everyday causing a nuisance. The garbage stinks so much so that the pedestrians are forced to cover their mouth to avoid stink," said Tazeem Kazmi, a resident.
The shopkeepers said heaps of garbage was affecting their business as shoppers chose to avoid shopping from the shops close to the garbage dump. "The MC should shift the garbage from here without any delay or convert the bus stand into a permanent garbage dump," said a trader.
Some other shopkeepers said the MC should identify a suitable place away from human habitations and water bodies for the dumping of garbage. The bus stand is spread over huge area and witnesses huge rush of commuters, including students and traders.
"We wear masks to avoid pungent smell emanating from the garbage dump. The site has also become a safe haven for stray dogs and many people had been bitten by them in the past few months," another shopkeeper said. |
