Workers Submit Memorandum to DC After 4-Day Halt in Garbage Collection
Key Points:
- Waste collection stops in Mango following NGT complaint by current MLA
- Congress warns of protest if disposal not resumed within 24 hours
- Area faces health risks due to mounting garbage and foul odor
JAMSHEDPUR – Congress workers submitted a memorandum to the Deputy Commissioner demanding urgent resolution of Mango’s waste disposal crisis.
The situation has worsened since waste collection stopped four days ago. Moreover, similar issues emerged in February 2024.
Local residents have reported increasing rodent problems in the area. Meanwhile, medical practitioners warn of potential health hazards.
Health Concerns
“The stagnant waste could trigger various diseases,” stated a local health expert.
Furthermore, the absence of regular sanitization measures raises serious concerns. However, municipal authorities have not responded to complaints.
Political Developments
The crisis stemmed from an NGT complaint by the current MLA. On the other hand, former minister Banna Gupta has actively pursued solutions.
Additionally, environmental activists have called for immediate intervention. In contrast, the municipal corporation remains silent on resumption plans.
