People living in out areas of the city are the worst hit, despite no movement of G20 Summit candidates in the area.

The vehicles are not collecting the garbage from localities situated on Vallah Bypass for the last four days. Residents of inner city areas also complaining the same.

The solid waste management company, Averda, is already facing shortage of vehicles as a large number of collection vehicles are lying defunct. The company officials had assured to add some more vehicles and repair the old ones but due to scarcity of funds they didn’t fulfil the promises.
