Photo Jagran Manoj Kumar, Barauni (Begusarai). The cleanliness system in Gadhara and Rajwada areas of the Municipal Council Bihat area has completely broken down. There are heaps of garbage on the roads, potholes and streets everywhere, while lakhs of rupees are spent each month by the municipal council office in the name of cleanliness. Remove ads, just read the news. Nevertheless, no improvement is visible on the ground. Local people say that the workers of the contractor do not take the garbage to the landfill in Simaria and throw it along the road or in pits. As a result, spreading nasty smell throughout the environment and the lives of the people have become difficult. There is heaps of garbage in Salempur Tola van Wyk no. 16, road pits van Wyk no. 14, Gadhara-Baro Road, Thakurichak and Rajwada. Local residents say garbage is decomposed in water during rain, increasing the smell and mosquitoes. Even spraying with bleaching powder or mist machines is not done because the risk of diseases such as dengue and malaria has increased. The situation is so severe that people are often forced to set the garbage on fire, making the fire adopted a monstrous shape. Last year, in a similar incident, the fire department had to be called to put out the fire. The most worrying thing is that the local ward councilor keeps silence of this serious problem. People say that even after complaining, no steps are taken. What does the Deputy Chief Councilor say: Deputy Chief Councilor of the Municipal Council, Behat, Hrishikesh Kumar said that there is a system to send the garbage from all the divisions to the Simaria landfill, but keep the problem because of the negligence of some contractors. He assured that concrete steps would soon be taken to improve the situation.
