Analysis

Waste management is really important as it saves environment from toxic effects of biodegradable elements present in the waste. Mismanagement of waste can cause water contamination, health issues, and other several environmental issues. This initiative by CDA to make a waste disposal site is indeed a great step towards cleanliness drive in the twin cities. This initiative will help in coping with many problems like:

• Land Pollution: We will be able to at least control the garbage waste that is dumped on roads affecting both residential and commercial areas
• Water Pollution: Mostly water is polluted from the waste materials that are washed away with water into the seas, rivers, and other water bodies. If we are able to create awareness amongst public about CDA initiatives then we will definitely be able to cope with pollution.
• Health Issues: If we’ll get a clean environment even through this initiative, we will be protected from many diseases that are water borne or a creation of the pollution.
