CB Pur shandy rid of garbage
Chikkaballapur, Nov 22, DHNS:
The City Municipal Council has taken a step towards removing the garbage piled on the weekly shandy road.
CMC workers came to the shandy in a garbage disposal truck on Monday. They cleaned not only the garbage bins, but also the roads which were almost completely covered by the waste.
Fish was being sold adjacent to the garbage bins. Citizens had expressed fear of spread of diseases in addition to dirtying of the area due to sale at such a place.
On Monday, however, the vendors were absent.
The garbage on the road was piling up by the day, but not attended to. Stray dogs used to dig into the piles, roll about them and dirty the roads further. Pedestrians avoided stepping onto the road for fear of being bitten by the stray dogs.
Deccan Herald carried a story on November 22 about the problems faced by the citizens due to the rising but untouched garbage pile in the weekly shandy.
