Pulwama: Students and Staff Members of Govenment Girls Upper Primay School Bandzoo Pulwama of south kashmir district are aghast over the locals of the area who have been dumping garbage out side school premises. Foul smell emanating from the heaps of garbage, they say, not only irritates them but has a ‘potential of being a breeding ground of diseases’.
Students of the school told INS that they face lot difficulties in school due to the foul smell from the site, claiming they are not able to concentrate on studies.
Teaching staff members also complained that some miscreants throw all waste material including cowdung, dead animals even dead dogs outside school walls which effects all envirionment in the school.
The school is situated on the banks of “Sas Ara” Rivulet which adds the school beauty however but ‘due to selfishness of local population to using school boundaries as waste dumping site has only added as being reason for school dropouts’.
ZEO Pulwama Fatima said that local people are butchers by profession and they hold mandi near the school.
“We have taken the issue with DC pulwama and we hope some positive result will come out soon,” she said.
