Carelessness of Municipal Committee Rajouri clearly seen in pictures from the centre of the city Gujjar Manndi , ward no 3 ‘ and back side of DC office opposite. ALG ground..Clearly seen that waste including inorganic material such as iron cans, paper, plastic, glass pieces, or leftover food, animal bones, vegetable peels left over open like this as a result it gives rise to pollution and many diseases ..I cant understand what’s the fun of making ward counsellors as they are least bother about this matter of great concern.

Why swach bharat abyan only for publicity?..Being citizen of Rajouri I appeal to district administration Rajouri as well as municipal Committe to take serious concern abt this issue ..

Rajouri June 15:-The failure of  Municipal Committee Rajouri administration to arrange a garbage dumping facility here has evoked widespread resentment among the locals as heaps of domestic and market waste are lying scattered across the town.

The failure of said administration to arrange a garbage dumping facility here has evoked widespread resentment among the locals as heaps of domestic and market waste are lying scattered across the town. Locals said that this Rajouri town has been turned into a garbage dump with heaps of garbage present on the roadside in many areas including the main market due to the non-availability of any proper garbage dumping site.

According to locals, the garbage being collected by municipal committee Rajouri (MCR) from various areas is being dumped along the main Rajouri Thanna Mandi Road near Diet Rajouri here that emanates foul smell making the pedestrian movement difficult.

“Dogs are always seen in many areas as they keep searching for food in these dumps, posing a threat to locals particularly students,” said a local resident, adding that the garbage heaps have also become breeding grounds for insects.

“The Concerned authorities have turned a blind eye toward this issue. Many a time authorities do not lift garbage from the place even in the evenings,” they said. “The garbage emanates foul smell and has become a health hazard for the people. It also attracts dogs, cattle and insects,” a commuter said.
