The Municipality is picking up garbage from different areas of Anantnag town and then dumping on road, a group of locals told Early Times.
“Municipal Committee is dumping the garbage near sensitive water body from past few weeks and concerned departments including Irrgration and Flood Control Department suprisngly aren’t raising objections against this illegal practice,” they said
The garbage piled up on road is causing huge connivance to the people and could be a reason for the outbreak of some dangerous epidemics.
They said that illegally activity is posing a serious threat to ecology of the area and aquatic life in rivulet.
Locals said that instead of dumping garbage on road the municipality must find alternative location for collecting the garbage.

“We are almost disposing off 85mts of garbage on each day,” he said, however sought cooperation from the local population of Anantnag town.
