Ashutosh Tiwari, Jagdalpur. The issue of garbage dumping by the Municipal Corporation in the wards of the city is increasing. On Sunday, the councilor and residents of Ganganagar ward demonstrated by dumping garbage on Geedam Road. Today, after months of protest in Chhatrapati and Maharana Pratap Dev wards, the residents blocked the National Highway in front of the Forest Department over dumping of garbage in the ward. This jam lasted for about an hour, due to which traffic was completely disrupted. Seeing the situation of the jam, the district administration sent the Tehsildar to the spot.
The Tehsildar talked to the protesters. During this, the councilors and the residents of the ward demanded that the city’s garbage should not be dumped in their ward. The Tehsildar assured that now garbage will not be dumped there, after which traffic was restored. In recent times, the residents of the ward have faced serious problems due to garbage. Due to the garbage dumped in the pond, the water has become so contaminated that people bathing in it are getting big rashes on their skin. Many people have also fallen ill due to the smell of garbage.
Former MLA expressed concern over the indifference of the corporation
Former MLA Rekhachand Jain expressed concern over the corporation’s apathy and said that the residents of the ward are troubled. He also took the state government to task and said that he is working to wake up the sleeping government. Jain warned that if the problem is not resolved, he will continue to resort to road blockades and protests. This issue has become a matter of serious concern not only for the residents of the ward but for the entire city. If the administration does not pay immediate attention to it, the struggle will continue.
