THE garbage situation is worsening day by day. Karachiites do not need to read about any sanitation situation in a newspaper, as they witness it in every street. In Khokhrapar Malir, heaps of garbage are lying uncleaned at roadsides, in lanes and bylanes.

A dumpster has been placed on the main road near the PSO petrol pump adjacent to a bank. Travelling on the road near the dumpster is so nauseating that one almost feels like vomiting. We witnessed earlier this year the outbreak of chikengunya which is caused by a filthy environment.

I request the authorities concerned to rid Karachi of insanitation.
