Commuters walk past huge heaps of garbage overflown on the street in front of Gausia market. Due to the authority’s inattention, shop-owners get away with dumping shopping bags and scrapped clothes on the open road. This adds to the congestion in the busy street, as the pedestrians have to walk in the middle of the road to get past the area, with high risk of accidents. This photo was taken yesterday.
