South Delhi Residents Protest Against MCD Over Garbage, Illegal Parking
People in a part of South Delhi are very upset because the city cleaners (MCD) are not picking up the trash.
There are big piles of garbage on the streets, and big trucks are parking illegally, which is dangerous for kids.
There are also cows wandering around, blocking the roads.
The residents have been complaining for a whole year, but nothing has been done.
They even made a big human chain to show their protest and said they might go to the highest court in India if things don't change.
They also shared pictures and videos of the messy streets on social media.
Some people even said that if this happened in a richer area, it would have been fixed by now.

The protest caused a 15-minute traffic standstill on a main road in South Delhi.
