Subject: The menace of garbage heaps
Sir:
I write to you to express my deep anguish over the problem of garbage heaps lying unmanaged and uncleaned for many days in our locality. The municipality’s apathy to timely clean these heaps is responsible for this.
Mumbai is the financial capital of India; lots of tourists from other states as well as foreign countries visit it. These heaps of garbage near residential colonies and near roads leave a bad impact on them. These garbage heaps are a source of noxious stink and spreading of so many diseases.
There is another problem of mismanagement of garbage. Quite frequently the garbage man collects garbage of the colony and burns it near the park. This burning causes lots of inconvenience to the people living near the park.
This garbage has lots of plastic and other dangerous substances in it. When these substances are burnt toxic gases such as nitrogen oxide, heavy metals, particulates, and dioxin are released into the atmosphere. These pose a serious threat to the health of residents, especially the children and the elderly. Through the columns of your esteemed daily I appeal to people and concerned authorities to look into the matter and take implement some stricter laws to speedy disposal of the garbage heaps. The municipality must introduce proper and scientific garbage management system. Looking forward to your cooperation in this regard.
Yours truly,
S.Tilak
