Dera Bassi, November 12
Due to negligence of the Dera Bassi Municipal Council, heaps of garbage can be witnessed in different parts of the area. Residents alleged that the authorities concerned failed to fulfill their duties efficiently.
A large chunk of garbage was witnessed on the court road, Mubarikpur road, Dera Bassi-Chandigarh Highway near Barwala road and other places.
Sources in the MC stated that more than 10 dustbins had been kept in various localities. The Dera Bassi Municipal Council spends nearly Rs 1.10 lakh on the sanitation work, he added.
However, one of the MC councillors stated that no MC meeting had taken place from the past few months affecting the development and other works of the area.
Mahesh Kumar, a resident of Dera Bassi, said it was difficult for schoolchildren to cross the tehsil road as piles of garbage were lying in open.
Sanjeev Bagga, another resident, asserted that the local bodies should try to solve the problem because the weather was changing and the city was already in grip of viral related diseases. However, MC officials claimed that the cleanliness drives were conducting on regular intervals.
