Urging CDA to resolve the issue before Islamabad turns into a garbage dump
ISLAMABAD: Islamabad is the capital of Pakistan. It is the 2nd most beautiful capital in the world. When this government came to power everything was going smoothly but for the past few months the garbage collection system of Islamabad, which is under the CDA (Capital Development Authority), has started to fail. The CDA gives external contracts to handle the workers who collect garbage. The contractor is paying the workers and because of this, there is no proper system of garbage collection. Garbage is all around streets and roads. There is no proper disposal of garbage because the workers are constantly protesting. They have not been paid for the past three months. I urge the CDA to resolve the issue as soon as possible because Islamabad is turning into a garbage dump by the day.
