Vendors spoil footpaths

Vendors spoil footpaths
Chandigarh: The footpaths along main roads are becoming garbage dumps, thanks to local vendors who seem to be forgetting that the administration clears only dustbins.
The suffering residents and pedestrians call for strict action against offending vendors. Local businessman and Sector-8 resident Harvinder Singh said: “On my evening walks, I spot garbage lying in a corner of the parking lot or on the pedestrian way, where it stays for many days.”
Contesting the charge, an official in the municipal corporation said that garbage is cleared on regular basis from the designated places, and the teams have instructions to check at other places as well.
“They work according to plan,” the sourced said. “Besides, when people report a garbage dump that hasn’t been cleared for days, we send a team out quickly.”
