Garbage
at MC’s door
Ludhiana, June 11
In this city, a heap of garbage is an indication that one
of the offices of the Municipal Corporation is just around the
corner... and the Zone-B MC office is no exception. The
indifference of the staff towards their own surroundings can be
gauged from the fact that garbage flushed out of sewage is lying
on a main road, a stone’s throw away from the office near
Shingar Cinema Road. Officials concerned say that they have told
their staff to discontinue the practice, but it is standard
operation procedure for ‘safai karamcharis’.
Filth taken out of sewage lies just 50 m away from the Zone-B office of the Municipal Corporation, near Shingar Cinema Road, Ludhiana.
