Colonised by garbage

The Hindu  

A few days ago, Reena Talwar’s pet dog Bebo suddenly lost her appetite. In fact, it has been the smelliest year since I came to live here about six or seven years ago,” says Ms. Talwar, keeping a hawk-eye on Bebo so that she doesn’t start sampling the leftovers from heaps of plates that have been discarded from a neighbourhood party the night before. Her sentiments are echoed by Gulshan Rai, part of the confederation of resident’s welfare associations across NCR, the 70-year old resident of Janakpuri says he has now become a fixture in the Municipal Corporation offices. The local MCD workers know that I do not keep quiet if they do not do their jobs.” The entire West Delhi suburb is a mixed neighbourhood with rickshaw-pullers, construction workers, doctors, lawyers, businessmen and other white-collar workers with posh bungalows and apartment buildings sharing space with barsatis and dilapidated structures. Garbage doesn’t collect by itself, if people want cleanliness, they have do something too,” says Meenu, a sweeper-woman in Patel Nagar who has been hired by the local resident’s welfare association.
