Srinagar, Mar 8: The dustbins installed at various locations across the Pakherpora area of central Kashmir’s Budgam district are not cleared on time, causing inconvenience to the public.
Local residents informed that the Rural Development Department had installed dustbins at several spots, which was initially seen as a positive initiative. However, these dustbins have been left unattended, due to which garbage is being accumulated.
Bilal Ahmad, a local, welcomed the installation of dustbins but said there should be regular clearance. He suggested a weekly schedule for their maintenance. “Officials assured of bi-weekly clearance of dustbins, but they failed to keep their promise,” he said.
He added, “Prior to the installation of these dustbins, residents managed garbage disposal independently. However, with the introduction of dustbins, waste is now being deposited in them. Unfortunately, neglecting their maintenance creates a new set of challenges.”
Another resident, Aabid Ahmad, expressed concerns over the environmental impact of unattended dustbins. He said there is a risk of littering and pollution caused by overflowing trash. “The authorities must immediately address these issues to maintain public safety and community hygiene,” he said.
Locals said the foul smell emanating from the neglected dustbins has become a pressing issue for them and passersby.
Despite repeated appeals to higher authorities, residents said authorities should take satisfactory measures in this regard. “With summer approaching, the situation may worsen if immediate action is not taken to address the problem,” they said.
An official acknowledged the challenges related to waste disposal in certain areas.
He said they have some issues regarding the disposal of waste in some areas as locals have failed to provide land for disposal. “We are on it and are working for proper disposal of waste as early as possible,” he said.
