Garbage In Karachi
(Muhammad Shoaib, Karachi)
Please get CDGK authority to
look into the matter of the garbage dump near footpaths of North Karachi. The
garbage is strewn on the road by stray cattle and dogs. The rag-pickers also go
through the garbage and leave it spread out on the road. The whole area stinks
so much that it is impossible to stand outside one's house. These day the
garbage is collected is worse as the smell pervades inside the houses and food
and water too.
Please impress upon the authorities to shift the dump to outside the city. There
are many other dumps in Karachi but none are being used for collecting garbage.
This seems to be the only one being used.
The situation is worse on Thursdays after the weekly bazaar on Wednesday evening
on the same road.
The residents are forced to live in such unhygienic conditions. I have written
several times to Karachi authority but to no avail.
It is my request to convey this massage to the concern authorities I will be
very thankful to your newspaper.
