KABUL (SW): On an average day, the amount of waste generated in the capital Kabul has swollen to more than six thousand tons, the Kabul Municipality revealed.
According to Nisar Ahmad Habibi Ghauri, Director Department of Cleanness, this amount was on the rise owing to rapid urbanization in the city. In an exclusive interview with the SW, he said the municipality collects over six thousand tons of waste daily from the city and dumps it on dumping points.
Acknowledging the fact that many parts of the city remained dirty with garbage lying in the streets, the DDC partly blamed citizens for that.
“Not many people are used to the urban culture, they just throw away the waste in open spaces near their homes”, Ghauri said.
Kabul, once known as the city of gardens has lost most of natural beauty to the ragging conflicts in the past many decades and then by the latest influx of an overwhelming number of settlers from various parts of the country.
Ghauri requested the Kabulites to pay serious attention towards cleanness and greenness of the city.
