Till I arrive at my university, I breathe in toxic fumes instead of taking in the fresh morning air.
KARACHI: Nowadays, there is a new trend in which houses in Karachi dump their garbage right outside their gates and then the sweeper collects it and burns it. Every morning when I wake up in my house in Gulistan-e-Jauhar, till I arrive at my university at the other end of the city, I breathe in toxic fumes instead of taking in the fresh morning air. I urge the relevant authorities to take necessary action in this regard.
