Uncollected garbage

Published September 7, 2018

I WRITE on behalf of the residents of Happy Homes, Phase 3, in Qasimabad, Hyderabad, who are concerned about the lack of cleanliness in this entire locality.

This has resulted in the spread of diseases. Many people are in hospital having been diagnosed with dengue, malaria and typhoid fever.

The municipality has failed to clean the area of waste. There is an urgent need for raising raise awareness about this pressing issue. The people must also come forward to help the municipality clean the area.
