KARACHI: Lyariites call for garbage disposal



By Our Staff Reporter


KARACHI, March 27: Most of the streets in Nawabad and Memon Society areas of UC-3 in Lyari Town are littered with filth and garbage.

Area people blame inefficiency of municipal authorities the main reason for insanitation. In absence of any effective system for garbage collection and disposal, streets and roads are littered with filth, they say.

Residents say the situation is the worst in the surrounding areas of Karabai Karimji Road, which are virtually converted into dumping sites.

One could hardly endure foul smell while passing through any street, they say.

They urge town administration to take notice of the situation and order effective measures for proper disposal of garbage, which could cause outbreak of any disease.

They say open drains are also filled and blocked with garbage, which can prove disastrous in monsoon.

Town municipal officials always complain of shortage of funds, workers and transport facilities owing to which they say the system cannot be improved.

Sanitary workers do not collect garbage from illegal, unplanned disposal spots, which was a permanent source of nuisance for area people.
