ISLAMABAD: German Ambassador to Pakistan, Martin Kobler, who is quite active on Twitter, shared a picture of a spot in Islamabad with heaps of garbage, resulting suspension of two Capital Development Authority (CDA) officials by the government.
Mr. Kobler identified the area as F7/4 street 56 of Islamabad, pointing towards a dump in the picture.
He wrote: ‘Going past a road, there is scenic locality around, but at a point in F7/4 street 56 of Islamabad I spotted a heap of garbage. The trash could not be dumped this way. This could become a breeding ground for dengue mosquitoes and hence causing health hazards. What can we do about it?”
سڑک سے گزرتے ہوے Islamabad# میں جہاں خوبصورت جگہ نظر آتی ہے وہیں جابجا کوڑے کے ڈھیر بھی جیسے کہ F7/4 گلی 56میں۔ ٹھوس کوڑا اس طرح سے ہر جگہ نہیں پھینکا جاسکتا۔یہ ڈینگی اور دیگر مضرِ صحت اثرات کا سبب بنتا ہے! کیا کیا جاسکتا ہے؟ pic.twitter.com/5JimvTefth
