TMA removes garbage dumps after years

CHITRAL: Looking at the dumps of the garbage in Chitral bazaar, it seems that the tehsil municipal administration (TMA) has swung into action to remove them after many years even though it should be a routine exercise.

A representative of the traders on Wednesday expressed his happiness over the TMA decision to spare four vehicles and support staff for removing the garbage dumped from different parts of the business centre for years.

The tehsil municipal officer Mr Qadir asked the traders to notify his office about garbage lying unattended in any part of the town so that he could send the staff along with the vehicle to pick it up for disposal.

The people of Chitral have called upon the authorities concerned to put in place a proper system under which garbage could be picked on a daily basis and disposed of scientifically. –S. Nazir Hussain
