Chandigarh, July 11

With garbage strewn just a few metres from the office of the Municipal Corporation in Sector 17 here, those visiting the area have to bear with the stench emanating from it.

The visitors were surprised to see a heap of garbage in the vicinity of the parking area near the MC office on Wednesday.

The waste is posing health hazard to residents living in government houses close to the area. At the same time, questions are being raised over the cleanliness drive of the civic body.

One of the residents living in the area said, “We do not know who dumped the garbage here. We have complained to the MC officials, but to no avail.”

Sources said problem of garbage disposal had increased ever since the garbage plant being run by the Jaypee Group failed to process the entire waste generated in the city.

While the plant is brimming with garbage, the slow pace of processing waste created problems for residents of the city.
