Patna: The condition of sanitation in the locality of Shastri Nagar is highly unsatisfactory, causing health and hygiene concerns among residents.
Garbage heaps can be seen lying unattended for days. The drains are overflowing and emit a foul smell. Mosquitoes and stray dogs have become a common sight, increasing the risk of diseases like dengue and malaria.
Residents have repeatedly approached the municipal authorities, but no permanent solution has been provided. Children and elderly are most at risk. The residents have urged the Patna Municipal Corporation to take immediate steps for regular garbage collection, proper drainage cleaning, and fumigation to maintain hygiene and safeguard public health.
