Residents of capital demanding cleanliness of nullahs

ISLAMABAD: Residents of various sectors of Islamabad asked the Capital Development Authority (CDA) to take measures for cleanliness of nullahs passing through their localities, on Wednesday.
At least one nullah is flowing from almost every sector of Islamabad, however, immediate attention of the civic body is needed to clean these and ward off any untoward incident as well save the citizens from several health dangers.–APP
Talking to APP, Amjad Ali resident of sector G-7 said nullahs located at sector G-9 and G-7 are filled with dirty water and mud. He said that the civic body had not desilted these nullahs since many years. Director Sanitation Sardar Khan Zimri told the Sanitation Directorate to take effective steps for the cleanliness of nullahs in a well planned manner as the sewerage lines are causing malodorousness whereas throwing of plastic bags and other solid waste results in the blockage of the smooth flow of nullah water.
He said if the cleanliness of these nullahs would be carried out on a regular basis, the garbage and malodorousness can be controlled.
