Waste disposal
Drains are situated besides every road for the disposal of waste materials. These drains finally end up in the rivers carrying waste materials. People depend on the rivers for their daily activities. They wash their utensils, clothes and even take bath in the rivers. As these rivers contain waste materials, they may cause various contagious diseases. The fish in these rivers are also contaminated. And again the fish which survive are sold and consumed by people. The drains being blocked in many cases, the wastes have no other place to accumulate.
The problem must be addressed as a matter of priority.
