Pollution Problems in bhara kahu
Pollution Problems in bhara kahu
They said that heaps of garbage in Bhara Kahu are causing certain diseases and environmental pollution. The unhygienic conditions are also affecting children who play at open places.
A senior citizen, Shafaqat Ali, demanded district administration and civic body to check and monitor cleanliness staff in Jhuggi Mor, Bhara Pul, Simli Dam Road, Athal Chowk, Nai Abadi and Dhoke Jilani.
Imtiaz Rasheed Niazi, a resident of Col Amanullah Road, said that her children do suffer from diarrhoea very often due to contaminated underground water. "There are no filtration plants and proper sanitation system in our area," she added.
Highlighting importance of cleanliness, Executive Director Polyclinic Hospital Dr Zahid Iqbal said that 90% of communicable diseases are caused due to unhygienic environment and the majority of cases are reported from rural areas.
During the last year, most of the viral fever cases in the capital were reported from rural areas, he added.
Kasif Abbasi, a shopkeepers at Bhara Kahu, said the putrefying smell from the heaps of garbage, sometimes put on fire, is totally unbearable.
An elderly resident of the locality, Abdul Rasheed, said, “Due to lack of a solid waste management system, rural areas are the worst affected. Heaps of garbage have somehow become breeding grounds for bacteria, viruses, flies and mosquitoes," he said.
A senior official of district administration said people in these areas were used to dump the solid waste at improper places despite availability of dustbins.
He said that huge piles of rubbish could be seen everywhere even in front of these dustbins.
He said that most of waste, generated in the Bhara Kahu area, is dumped on streets or some unauthorised sites like vacant plots which creates problems for sanitary workers.
The official also complained about the ignorance of the residents who usually throw the waste in streets and sewerage, choking the drains.
"We are doing our bit but it is shared responsibility of ours and the residents to keep cities towns and waste-courses clean. The citizens must also fulfil their responsibility," he said.

vii. Last but not the least is the unavailability of any sort of information in a published form. Neither there is any website exist covering all the data and information nor CDA, Rural and Local Development Authority or Union Councils offices in Bhara Kahu are taking any responsibility for the provision of information to the user upon request.
