The residents of Karachi heaved a sigh of relief on Friday as storm hitting the city coupled with heavy rains passed away bringing joy especially to the people residing in low-lying areas of the city.
Meanwhile, the removal of garbage from different parts of the city and the cantonment areas is being expedited so that the garbage leftover does not pose a health problem to the residents.
However, in the keenness to dispose of the garbage at many points in the city the conservancy staff was engaged in burning it, causing air pollution and breathing problems for the people nearby.
Residents across the city have urged upon both the CDGK as also the Cantonment authorities to take immediate steps to stop the illegal burning of the garbage to save the people from the getting affected.
