This picture here shows the cleanliness status in Shad Bagh locality of Lahore. The piles of litter speak for itself the efficiency level of local government despite the tall claims of making Lahore another Paris.
This is a junction of very busy market in Shad Bagh where the dilapidated condition of road and heaps of litter are very much evident in the picture. Besides the trash pile one can see a cemented water tank as well as a watercooler. This water tank supplies drinking water to the people who do business around this area.
The hygienic purity of water can be imagined. No wonder epidemic diseases here spread fast due to poor sanitary and cleanliness condition. The incumbents in local government should take note of this and make necessary arrangements for disposing of litter posing menace of myriad epidemic diseases.
Yes, one can argue that why don’t residents who feel for this environmental disaster clean up this area on ‘apni madad aap’ (self help basis) but my point is that local Government shouldn’t also fail in their basic duty of picking up trash and keeping the area clean.
I don’t think the title of your article matches the content lol. Just kidding, mainly because I had some doubts after reading the article.
