Kalindi Kunj ghat need immediate attention

NEW DELHI: The municipal corporations had to clean all the ghats after the idol immersion but the heap of garbage lined up on the ghats speaks volumes about the neglect. The Kalindi Kunj Ghat, after several complaints to South Corporation, was cleaned by residents and Durga Puja committees along with corporation officials on Friday after strongly protesting against it. More than 65 truckloads of waste were fished out of the shallow water of the Kalindi Kunj ghat.

People are still coming with idols and immersing them. The flood and irrigation department officials had to clean the river and garbage had to be picked up from the ghats by the respective corporation. But the officials never come and the filth was piling up. We had earlier, too, many times complained to the corporation but they would pass the buck on to flood and irrigation department. Taking the matter in our hands, we asked the corporation to provide us with equipment, residents will personally help in getting the ghat cleaned rather than wait for officials to wake up to the situation, said Virender Kasana, CR Park councilor, who manually picked up the waste and helped in the cleaning process along with residents.

Over 38 sanitation workers, fiver JCB machines, 20 trucks and 25 auto-tippers were used to remove the waste from the ghat. aœThe condition of the ghats and the river is getting worse with each year. The government is spending money for the cleaning of the river but we don't see it happening. We have asked them to clean the shallow water near the ghat so that we can pick up the waste and clean the ghat. Even the residents have been complaining but we are helpless,a said a South Corporation official present on the ghat.

The idols, which were fished out from Kalindi Kunj ghat, were re-immersed in the low-lying area near the site, and the flowers and sari, the ruined ones, were all sent to the landfill site in Okhla.

While the residents efforts spurred the corporation into action but other ghats are waiting to be cleaned. The ITO ghat and Civil Lines ghat are still in filthy state with waste strewn all over the place and the stench is making it unbearable for locals to visit the place. The corporation can only remove the garbage. But it has been piled up on the ghat as to dry it before taking it to the landfill site. Once the waste has dried, the ghats will be clean as earliest, said YS Mann, director, Press and Information of North and East Corporations.
