The residents of Beerwah are facing a major problem as the garbage dump on the banks of the Sukhnag river has made their lives miserable. Garbage, including plastic bags, bottles and food waste, has been piling up near the river for weeks, emitting odors and attracting insects.
A local resident named Sarwar Ahmad said, the problem has arisen because the regular garbage collection service by the municipal authorities is inadequate. The Safiwallas only come to pick up the garbage once every two weeks, and residents are forced to either keep their waste at home or dump it in unauthorized places, such as river banks.
Masroor Ahmad, a local resident, said, "We have no other option but to throw our garbage in the river as the scavengers rarely come to collect it. It is unfortunate that we are destroying our environment like this. forced to pollute,” said Masroor Ahmad, a local resident.
Garbage dump not only poses environmental hazards but also affects the aesthetic appeal of the area. The river, which was once a beautiful place for residents to relax and enjoy the natural fresh air, has now turned into an eyesore.
We have informed the higher authorities about our problem several times but so far nothing has happened in our favor, now we request the concerned department to send the Safiwallas atleast every two days in a week to collect the garbage from the houses so that it does not happen again. don't be Future.
