Collecting garbage

Published

I RECENTLY went to Bahadurabad, which is considered a posh area of Karachi. Placing garbage bins to make Karachi clean is not the solution to the problem.

I saw large garbage bins overflowing with trash, for Karachi Metropolitan Corporation had not collected the garbage. There must be sincere effort to collect the garbage on a regular basis.

It seems that KMC and the Sindh government are more focused on destruction of the city rather than focussing on cleanliness and building roads which are in a bad shape even in upscale areas of the city.
