Dont dump waste outside the bins

The miscreants — they are incorrigible. The authorities have placed neat and tidy boxes for waste disposal around the Central Souq in Sharjah, and yet people seem to prefer to place their waste outside the bins. The beauty of the place is marred by such a heinous crime, and yes it is a crime to make the place dirty. Those who are entrusted to make it clean go on and on every day, but this misdeed continues too. The patience of the workers is to be lauded.

Also, the placing of advertisements on walls is a continuous problem. Municipality workers remove the papers, but they appear again and again. A solution would be for the authorities to contact the phone numbers given on the advertisements and catch them red handed. Ardent campaigns should be conducted to create more awareness in the minds of the public, so our surroundings will be neat and clean and we will be more hale and healthy.
