Explanation:
Stray cattle, dogs, crows and pigs fight for their food in an open garbage dump.
Rain mixes with the filth and slush spreads all around. With their noses covered with handkerchiefs, hundreds of people, including office-goers and school children navigate to the congested bus stand on the edge of the dump precariously.

No, this is not a scene from a remote corner of rural India. This is happening right on the periphery of the so-called ''happening'' colonies of South Delhi, Shivalik and Malviya Nagar. The most affected are the F Block residents of Malviya Nagar.
Some years ago, it started as a small dump, but total disregard by the authorities has seen it grow into a huge threat to the residents. Scores of petitions by local residents'' welfare associa-tions and complaints by concerned citizens in the area to civic author-ities have yielded nothing so far.
Promises made by politicians on the eve of crucial elections to clean up the mess have remained unfulfilled. Assurances given by former Delhi Minister Yoganand Shastri and Municipal Councillor for Malviya Nagar Jeetendra Kochar have also fallen by the wayside.
This festering open garbage dump has become a major health hazard for Malviya Nagar and Shivalik residents. The president of Shivalik A Block Residents'' Welfare Association, M L Lohaty, says, "We have written several times to the authorities. We have asked them to either shift the dump to another location or to cover it and dispose offthe garbage on a regular basis. If politicians and officials are unable to solve the problem, we will have no option but to go to the courts. We want our area to be clean, green and beauti-ful so that we can celebrate our traditional festivals like Diwali, Holi, Karva Chauth out in the open in large numbers.
