Chandigarh, September 16

The two-bin waste collection vehicles of the Municipal Corporation have not picked garbage from the houses in Sector 32 and 33 for the past four days.

Area residents said earlier the garbage collectors used to visit daily and collected the waste from upper floors as well, but now the waste collection vehicles don’t turn up for days.

“Garbage is not picked up every day, due to which there is a lot of anger among the people. Three-four days have passed, but the garbage has not been picked up,” said Jagdeep Mahajan, head of the Sector 32-33 residents’ welfare association.

Manju Batra of Sector 32 said the garbage was not being picked up for the past four days now.

The earlier system was good, she said.

Sushma Sehgal from Sector 32-D said everyone was upset with the new system.

Mahajan warned that the residents would protest in front of the MC office if system was not rectified at the earliest.
