Residents of North Sophia are calling on city authorities to address the wanton disposal of garbage on their main road, which they say disrupts their everyday lives and is also a hindrance to vehicles traveling through the community.
When this newspaper visited the community on Friday, a small section of the parapet of the main access road, which is several feet from the St Stanislaus College’s farm, was dotted with garbage consisting of old home appliances and other household items, zinc sheets, and dried plants, among other items.
The residents, who did not want to be named for fear of victimisation, that the indiscriminate dumping of refuse is often carried out by horse cart owners.
