Rupnagar roads littered with garbage

Monday, 10 June 2024



During a recent visit to Rupnagar residential area of Dhaka, I was dismayed to observe a significant portion of the road under heaps of garbage. It appears that some individuals have transformed a portion of the road into a makeshift dumping ground, resulting in visual pollution and emission of foul odour. Particularly during the monsoon season, the stench intensifies, making pedestrian movement by it exceedingly challenging.
If immediate action is not taken to address this issue, the main road of Rupnagar could become impassable in the future. Therefore, urgent measures must be taken to rid the road of this garbage menace. Additionally, there is a need for installation of warning notices urging residents not to dispose of waste on the road. I hope the authorities concerned will take prompt action to restore cleanliness to the Rupnagar residential area. It is essential for the well-being of the community and preservation of the environment.
