AGARTALA, July 20 (TIWN): The stench and ugly sight of garbage dumped on the roadside, sometimes overflowing from drains or floating on the surface of drains, is not at all uncommon in Tripura. Garbage collector, who comes to the locality during office hours to empty the dustbins inside his truck creates havoc and spreads a stinky smell all over the area.

Despite the assigned time to the garbage cleaner to come in the early morning for cleaning the garbage they always comes in the office hours to clean the garbage from the road side.  The parking of AMC truck on the road side during the office hours also creates congestion in traffic movement.

The situation become worse at MB Tilla, Drop gate, as this is one of the busiest road as there is continuous movement of traffic during the office and school goers. The students of the school faces serious inconvenience as the students comes from different direction and untimely cleaning of garbage during the school hours leads to congestion.

It is alleged there is no regular clearance of garbage which tends to accumulate in the road side and create an unhygienic atmosphere in the area.

It’s bizarre to explain that municipal administration has always been harsh on poor hawkers and retailers of the capital, but nobody dares to train a gun on AMC management that has been disturbing city environment by choosing an odd office time to lift garbage that is gradually making our life weird.

It a regular practice here. Exactly when the children leave for school and people step out for work, they are greeted with smoke from burning garbage. Despite repeated reminders to the AMC official to change the timing of the cleaning garbage no one is bothered to look into the matter.

The garbage carrying AMC trucks come in the office hours and collect the waste dumped in the AMC boxes on the road side. The waste sometime is not even cleaned properly. It is left piled up on the roadsides polluting the area and the soil and releasing stinky smoke in the air.  The fumes released are highly suffocating, said a resident.
