Karachi suffers from a very bad environmental pollution
LAHORE: Poor solid waste management in Karachi is a serious concern. The city has been a victim of this disorganisation for decades and now suffers from a very bad environmental pollution.
Trash keeps on piling up for days along streets of almost every town of the city. The non-biodegradable substance like plastic is contaminating the environment and posing a serious threat to the ecological system.
To counter this problem, there is the need to regulate waste management authorities in Karachi. Trash bins should be installed at regular intervals along the streets and public places of the city. The waste bins should be emptied by trash collectors on a daily basis. The collected waste should then be disposed of properly according to the set standard operating procedures. Moreover, the reusable waste can be separated and recycled for further useful applications.
The governing authorities of Karachi should resolve this issue at their earliest as it is resulting in fading the beauty of the ‘City of Lights’.
