Littering, garbage heaps at graveyards irk citizens.

ISLAMABAD -- The grave yards in Islamabad are turned into dumping grounds, mainly due to lack of coordination between Capital Development Authority's (CDA) Sanitation Department and Directorate of Municipal Administration (DMA).

'Piles of garbage are increasing gradually in various graveyards because of poor cleanliness services in the federal capital, whose managers are still reluctant to opt for scientific methods to shift household trash from the residential areas,' Chaudhry Arshad, a resident of Sector G-8, told reporter.

Pointing out indifferent attitude of the departments concerned towards cleanliness of the burial places, Maimona Hasnain, shared a post on Facebook to draw their attention towards heaps of garbage piling at a graveyard, located in sector H-11.

She urged the authorities concerned to launch cleanliness drive at graveyards at the earliest.

She also appealed to citizens to refrain from littering while visiting graveyards to offer pray for their loved ones' departed souls.

'CDA and municipality need to wake up and coordinate a massive cleanliness operation in the area,' Arooj Jalil another netizen commented on the post.
