Urgent: Massive Garbage Dumping and Neglect of Cleaning Services

I am writing to bring to your immediate attention a pressing issue affecting the health, well-being, and quality of life of over 50-100 families, including mine, in our community.

The Problem:
A massive garbage dump has accumulated right in front of our houses, the main road, and the government primary school. This creates a disgusting and unhealthy environment, causing:

  • Mosquito bites and health issues
  • Unbearable smells
  • Disgusting sights
  • Stray animals consuming plastic bags

Root Cause:
The lack of dumping bins in nearby 7-8 streets forces residents to dispose of waste in this area, exacerbating the issue.

Request:
We urge you to take immediate action to:

  • Clear the garbage
  • Provide regular cleaning services (daily/weekly)
  • Install dumping bins in surrounding streets

Further Action:
If this issue is not addressed promptly, we will be forced to write to the Prime Minister’s Office through “Mann Ki Baat & PMO CENTRE” ¹, highlighting the municipality’s inaction.

We request your serious and immediate attention to this matter, as our patience is wearing thin.

Sincerely,
Citizen Location: Bhuj, 370001, India.
