Summary:

Tribune News ServiceBathinda, August 18Heavy rain has again impacted the garbage collection system in the city today, exposing the apathy of the Municipal Corporation towards addressing the issue. Dustbins remain unattended throughout the day with the garbage collection mechanism losing its efficiency. The sluggish garbage clearance system is adding to the woes of commuters and passers-by as it generates a foul smell. Shergill said: “Gradually, we are going to put ourselves in a situation where we will first clean the accumulated garbage, then ensure its regular picking. We will soon have 40 e-rickshaws to lift garbage across the city.”.
