Pond turns into garbage dump
This refers to a natural pond located at Avengund Pulwama,which has turned into a pool of sewage. It has become a breeding ground formosquitoes and insects. People throw garbage and even defecate in the open. Ithas made the matters worse.
In just one year, the pond has turned into a dump yard. Thishas led to spurt in mosquito menace and a persistent rancid smell in and aroundthe area. Garbage is scattered all over the pond, while dirty water full ofsilt has added to the miseries of the residents.
The pond is in a pathetic condition and needs to bemaintained at earliest to prevent outbreak of major epidemic in the area.
We request district administration Pulwama to look into thematter so that situation doesn’t turn worse.
