The waste is hurled like it is a free- for-all dump, missing the garbage bins and straight onto the ground, in the society compound. The place reeks and is slick with filthy water. The residents have had their car windshields cracked as solid objects are thrown from above. 

Some residents claim to have slipped and fallen, thanks to the slippery mess.

There are sporadic cleaning attempts, the civic authorities do send a JCB and their trucks, to clean up and yet, the rubbish keeps flying, so it is impossible to keep up.

There are certain pointers here, for us to ponder on. Firstly, hutments proliferate and there are structures that are allowed to increase in height. From the ground floor, there is an upper floor that is built and then, yet another till the ‘hutment high-rise’ is complete. The people keep flowing in and the dwellings keep increasing, overshooting boundaries. Nearby spaces become convenient garbage depositories. If it is somebody else’s space, even better. Action is only taken when things get absolutely out of control or a huge health hazard means no option but attention and action. This site needs a permanent solution. All affected have suffered for too long. If India can land on the moon, there is no reason they cannot think of how to bring an end to this ugly situation. Let deep clean truly mean some deep thinking and clean results.
