Ludhiana Municipal Corporation Addresses Waste Accumulation After Diwali Festivities
Ludhiana faces significant waste management challenges as approximately 3,000 metric tonnes of garbage have accumulated across the city following Diwali. Residents report overflowing secondary dumping points and garbage spilling onto roads, causing inconvenience and foul odors. The Municipal Corporation (MC) has acknowledged machinery shortages and disrupted waste collection due to blocked access to the main dumping site. In response, the MC has initiated a special drive and directed officials to improve sanitation efforts, while warning of potential action against private firms failing to process waste adequately.
