Karachi garbage
KOHAT: A fast augmenting problem in Karachi is a flourishing pollution. Being an industrial and populated city, it produces thousands of tonnes of plain rubbish and garbage. Some of Karachi’s fruitful land is used to recycle a rubbish products. Due to accumulation of rubbish products and chemicals, many diseases are swelling among a people of Karachi. People from reduce socio-economic classes hunt these heaps of rubbish for element that can be recycled. This use has inauspicious effects on their health and life. In streets, sewerage pipelines are feeble maintained. Water pipelines and gutters trickle in many areas, blending purify H2O with soiled water. Waterborne diseases are swelling during a fast pace.
The hygiene conditions of a city’s streets are poor. Garbage is sole and burnt as a fuel. This produces atmosphere pollution. Moreover, it also increases many diseases such as cancer and lung disease. The sourroundings is put underneath mistreat and thus, inlet suffers. According to some research, 80 per cent of rubbish can be recycled if a collectors collect it separately; that is, put identical materials into a same place.
I titillate a Government of Sindh to take required reforms to urge a state of environmental affairs in Karachi. If prevalent practices continue, Karachi can't be neat and clean. The blazing of rubbish should be banned. Those who illegally sell rubbish should be treated cruelly by a supervision and face punishment.
