Dead puppy found near garbage heap in KDMC headquarters premises

The question of cleanliness in the Kalyan-Dombivli Municipal Corporation (KDMC) area is growing more serious by the day. Now the picture of filth has surfaced at the corporation's own headquarters, where a dead puppy was found lying near a heap of garbage in the premises.

Notably, even after a considerable time, the officials and staff concerned did not take notice of it. This has raised questions over the civic administration's sanitation work.

Residents have been regularly complaining about filth and garbage in different parts of Kalyan-Dombivli. People are suffering because of garbage lying on roads, accumulated dirt and inadequate cleaning arrangements. The same scene is now visible in the corporation's headquarters premises.

Keeping the city clean, disposing of garbage properly and keeping public places clean are the main responsibilities of the municipal administration. Residents have expressed anger that such conditions have arisen in the headquarters premises of the very administration responsible for cleanliness across the city.

Residents allege that despite repeated complaints about the city's filth, the administration does not take them seriously. The dead puppy and the garbage heap in the headquarters premises have once again exposed the shortcomings of the corporation's sanitation system, they say.

People are asking what the state of the rest of the city must be if this is the condition of cleanliness at the corporation's headquarters itself. They also ask how complaints from ordinary citizens will be acted upon if the administration does not attend even to the filth in its own premises.

There is a demand that the officials concerned immediately have the dead puppy removed properly and the premises cleaned. Residents are now watching whether the KDMC administration takes note of the matter and takes the necessary action.
