 On the east side of Urwa market on the Sultan Bathery road which  is the main approach to  a prime tourist area, is a nasty dump of thousands of florescent tubes and general materials, see pictures.

Apart from being an eye sore for a long while now, and belies cleanliness and all aspects of ’Swatch Bharat’; it is environmentally hazardous.


The mercury compounds it releases could pollute the air and mainly ground water, seriously harming human population. Those responsible must take immediate action to remove this critical public danger and sanitize the area.
