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.
