Overview

A large forest, adjacent to the river, has been ruined by the dumping of toxic garbage that includes 90% of mixed waste. Frequent open burning of the garbage has made living conditions very difficult in nearby villages, with people experiencing respiratory disorders. Foul odour has also reached a nearby park. Stray cattle are feeding off of the plastic and drinking toxic water that is released by the site. People used to graze their cattle at the site, where piles of dirty harmful garbage is spreading. A bridge was made on the river to promote tourism however, tourism has been affected due to the dumping and burning of the garbage. Different kinds of flies have started affecting crops, forcing farmers to use pesticides that they never used in their farms. Eating meals has become challenging, due to the flies. It has become difficult to work outside.
