if the mcd staff work honestly throughout the year in all the localities then this problem would not have arisen. now the world would know how dirty is the management of our country in respect of sanitation.the mcd sweepers do not cooperate with some people who like cleanliness around their house. we can see piles of garbage and water logging every where .people do not pay money (rs.40 to 60) to the private sweeper to collect garbage from their house instead throw in the roadside or throw garbage in the empty plots with without boundry in the locality.then instead of taking action against them action is taken against the owner of the plot.
