New Garbage Dump Emerges Near Chandigarh, Causing Issues
A new place to dump trash is causing problems near Chandigarh.
While one garbage site is being cleaned up, another one is growing nearby.
People are throwing trash on the roads, making it dirty and dangerous, especially at night because the streetlights don't work.
This is near a hospital and residential areas, creating bad smells and attracting animals.
People are complaining to the local authorities, but nothing seems to be done.
The main problems include the authorities from different regions not addressing the problem and the general neglect of the area.
A new garbage dumping site is emerging near Nayagaon, about 2.5 km from the Daddumajra garbage dump.
The site is a 3.5-km stretch between Chandigarh and Nayagaon, near PGIMER's main entrance.
Residents report open roadside dumping, attracting stray cattle and causing stench.
Non-functional streetlights and trash have caused accidents due to the area's darkness at night.
Local residents claim lack of action from Nayagaon, Mohali, and Chandigarh authorities is the main issue.
