#Srinagar is staring at an alarming ecological catastrophe, with environmental watchdogs warning that the city is becoming a "slum in the making." Nearly 11 lakh metric tonnes of legacy waste at #Achan has now turned into a mountain of garbage—a living example of the monumental government failure to tackle... the issue as it spirals into a civic crisis.

@OmarAbdullah What's happening in the pristine, beautiful union territory of Kashmir?

Miserable failure of public administration in #India! #IAS are responsible for this state of affairs!

When will India get a proper waste treatment plant in every town. We gotta start building those on priority @narendramodi

Unbelievable that Srinagar has this kind of spot!! Never knew this. Wonder what Govt keeps doing..

@BJP4India doesn’t have any plans for the waste in India, take control and push for waste management ( atleast in your states) it’s the need of the hour. State governments doesn’t even know about waste management ( utter incompetence)

This is one problem that you cannot blame Art 370 for. It is also one problem that was never going to he resolved by the abrogation of Art 370. In short the flagship policy of the 2nd Modi administration was neither necessary nor relevant to the real problem but a distraction.

Dr. Raja Muzaffar Bhat saab. pursued this case before the NGT, Delhi. I am thankful to him for taking up our environmental concerns before the NGT. He is among the first voices from the front line, raising environmental issues. @rtimuzaffar

It's smell enters every house on Srinagar

Nation wide, garbage disposal has become such a big hassle !! We need to work on this on war front @narendramodi @PMOIndia

We are drowning in our own filth

Don't show again on multimedia....

Our institutions and society focus on frivolous issues, ignoring what should truly matter.

Damnnn, this is some serious reality check. We hear "Smart City" and beautification all the time but then a waste crisis like this shows what’s actually happening on the ground 👎 Baatein karna badi baat nahin

दिल्ली का पहाड़ हटाते हटाते देश में कई पहाड़ बना दिए

1-4 (below) attest to how thoroughly challenges have permeated our cultures Thus, smaller habitats/less complex cultures and exponential increases in compassion and wisdom are essential; and those *must* be possible preface in 5=evidence @ChintanIndia @k_satyarthi @CANSouthAsia

This being literally 1000 mtrs from the most supposedly advanced medical facility of jammu and Kashmir aka SKIMS soura Srinagar and 1000+ bedded hospital. You can literally feel d stink in hospital premises. It baffles my mind how can we allow this to happen. Zero responsibility

Damnnn

Zero focus on real public good. Who and when this will be taken with urgency!!

This is insane.

Ise area mai kio rishta nahi deta

Problem with every city waste is increasing but waste treatment plants are same .no new waste treatment plants .

Wtf where is this?

New tourist destination opening soon!

@OfficeOfLGJandK @AmitShahOffice @narendramodi यह कूड़ा जनरल असीम मुनीर से उठवाओगे?

Oh my God.Viksit Bharat.

@OmarAbdullah you must get things moving fast .....recycling of garbage

It happens when authorities fail to manage waste and people keep treating public spaces like dumping grounds.

This is called "BHOGO" Unless the government is changed, this will continue to be faced by the people of J&K.

The courage of people living nearby this huge mountain of garbage

And ADB spent around 300 Cr.on it during 2012-18..

I think this cannot be blamed on Jagmohan or Kashmiri Hindus or Modi jee.

@grok waste management is of key concern in tourist destinations of India. What’s a more effective way to address this catastrophe- policy based interventions or mass education of the self being driven by Acharya Prashant? Consider historical data of policy interventions in India

Srinagar is not an exception, the whole country has got such huge mountains, with small hills of garbage on the street sides even in the capital! Political parties are currently very busy in handling their political affairs and personal wealth, governance is no priority.

That's where all the Delhi trash went.

Bigggest problem in the city
