Jaipur : The lives of people of ward no. 86 of Meena Colony located in Durgapura are getting worse. Because a local woman has turned her house into a garbage dump. For her own pleasure, the woman is collecting garbage from the depot and collecting it on the roof and stairs of the house. This hobby of the woman is proving to be a burden for the people living nearby. She has been collecting garbage for the last one year. She does this work only between 1 am to 5 am. The people living nearby have to pay for this hobby. Garbage is entering the house with strong winds. Due to rain, a foul smell is spreading in the locality due to which it is becoming difficult to sit outside. Not only this, the doors and windows of the house have to be kept closed throughout the day. The elderly have breathing problems and there is a risk of infection spreading among children. Gradually, insects have also started growing in the garbage. Gradually, diseases have started occurring due to this.
Local residents have tried to convince the woman many times. For the last few months, letters have been written to the SDM, police, municipal corporation and health department, but no action has been taken so far. The SDM sent this matter to the local police station. But the police is refusing to take action on this. Municipal corporation officials said that we can only collect garbage from the depot and not from the house. The CMSO said that we will take action only when someone falls ill. The administration is refusing to take responsibility for this problem. After all, who will take responsibility for this and whom should we go to? For the last few months, the woman has been collecting garbage in the open on the roof of the house. When the garbage gets wet in rain water, there is a foul smell throughout the day. Garbage comes into the house with the wind. Children keep playing and there is a danger of infection spreading from the garbage in the rain. Due to this, the windows and doors of the house have to be kept closed throughout the day.

Our house is very close. My 70-year-old father has trouble breathing even if he sits outside. Insects have started growing in the garbage due to rain. There is a risk of skin disease. On complaint, the officials are saying that they will take action if one gets sick. Will one have to get sick first to solve the problem? The woman is mentally ill. The woman brings biowaste from the garbage depot at night. We have complained to the administration several times for this, but the responsible people say that this is not our job. If it is not the administration’s job then whose job is it. – Piyush Gautam, President Arjun Nagar Vikas Samiti4. We explained to the woman several times. Even after that, she is continuously collecting garbage. For this, we wrote letters to the Health Department, SDM, Municipal Corporation and Police. But no hearing has taken place yet. There is not a single garbage depot in our ward. She collects garbage from the garbage depot of another ward from 1 am to 5 am. The family members explained but it had no effect.
