Ludhiana, September 21

Residents, along with a Congress leader, raised questions as a big garbage dump near the cremation ground in Shivpuri is not being removed despite repeated demands. Also, the dump is located along the Buddha Nullah. But the authorities have failed to do the needful.

A Congress leader, Ajay Walia, said the garbage dump creates a lot of nuisance for the public but the elected representative concerned from the constituency did not pay any heed to resolve the issue. He demanded that the problem must be resolved at the earliest.

Visitors face inconvenience

The garbage is generally dumped on about 100-m-long stretch along the Buddha Nullah, leaving commuters to suffer due to the foul smell emanating from it. Almost half of the portion of the road remains choked due to the dumping of the garbage. Moreover, visitors to the cremation ground are forced to face inconvenience due to the dump.

A resident said, “The uncovered garbage dump on the road has been creating a nuisance for a long time. It is difficult to pass through the stretch where the refuse is dumped. We demand from the authorities concerned to ensure the removal of the dump without any further delay. We want our elected representative to take the matter seriously and resolve the issue.”
