Garbage dumped along road

Garbage is being dumped along the road in the Dhalli bypass area for a long time now. Commuters passing through this road have to bear the foul smell emanating from the waste. This may also lead to outbreak of diseases in the locality. It is high time that the civic body got the waste removed and took steps to stop people from dumping garbage here. Surendar Negi, Shimla
