Keep our country clean

Letter February 27, 2017
I request all citizens to keep the country clean and avoid dumping garbage into empty plots

ISLAMABAD: Islamabad, being the capital, is the heart of Pakistan in several ways. Keeping our country clean is an important aspect of citizenship and purity is half of faith but many of us seem to be forgetting this. People tend to throw garbage next to empty plots beside their homes or drive down to an area where people have already dumped garbage. Instead of stopping them, we add more waste to the locations. Ultimately, this is resulting in the production of maggots, diseases, pollution, and foul smells. I request all citizens to keep the country clean and avoid dumping garbage into empty plots.
