Make Jammu Neat, Clean and Green

Oft-repeatedly, it has been in regular columns of dailies, weeklies and other printmedias regarding garbage piling up everywhere and every now and then and as a corollary, the complaints column is flooded with ever-increasing malice in and around Jammu, a city of temples and elsewhere also the situation is likewise same.

This way, the life has become totally unhygienic and there is cruelty amongst stray cattle who subsist upon the rotten polythene garbage and waste refuse of banquet halls and other unhygienie dumping.

It is disgusting rather dismaying that this unhygienie scenario is aggravating and tantamounting to multiple diseases gripping the rural populace as well. And still sad is the way in which the innocent stray animals feed upon these dead and thrown out stuffs from the ceremonial occasions of various hues. Over the years, polythene culture in most of the states including that of ours was completely banned but his practice continues as ever before. Imagine the eating up of garbage along with other polythene by stray cattle, which over the past few years have taken a heavy toll of cattle population. This is grave tragedy and warrants immediate aversion. ‘The people, even those deemed to be much civilized have forgotten the civic sense and throw away the rotten stuff on the road side alongside nallahs, instead of putting these in municipal bins.

The menace has engulfed almost all inhabiting areas in and around Jammu city, leaves aside posh colonies like Gandhi Nagar/Trikuta Nagar ete. The Jammu Municipality is endeavouring hard in conducting trails /survey to make this city of temples neat, clean and green by keeping the garbage-bins in almost all the localities yet we Jammuites should apply our senses and lend a helping hand to the authorities concerned for the rational disposal of garbage.
