Dear Sir,
Garbage-strewn streets reflect a dual failure in our cities: public irresponsibility and municipal negligence. Uncollected waste not only pollutes public spaces but also clogs drains and poses serious threats to public health. A clean urban environment cannot be achieved unless both citizens and municipal authorities fulfil their responsibilities.
The authorities must ensure timely waste collection, proper disposal and strict enforcement of existing regulations. At the same time, people who litter public spaces must face appropriate consequences. Equally importantly, municipal officials must be held accountable for negligence and failure to provide essential services. Merely making promises will not solve the problem. We need effective enforcement, responsible behaviour and measurable action to keep our cities clean.
I urge the authorities to take immediate steps to address this persistent concern and ensure a healthier urban environment for all.
