is Surat Cleanest city?
This is the situation which i faced daily for the past two or three months, someone or other has been setting fire to the plastic waste—which comes from saree manufacturing units—all over the area.
In this entire Punagam area, most people are now renting out the ground floors of their homes to saree manufacturers; consequently, these residential properties are gradually transforming into industrial spaces.
I cannot fault the SMC here; I see them clearing truckloads of plastic waste from this road every day. The issue is simply that the number of these small units has surged in recent years.
I don't know whose fault it is, but dumping trash like this—and setting it on fire—is unacceptable; honestly, even people in some "Third World" countries seem to have better civic sense. Just imagine how fed up we are with this; inhaling this smoke causes serious health damage. I request you all to share any suggestions you might have regarding this issue.
