Garbage not being taken from homes, dumped on roads
1 2 3 4 Lucknow: Irregular door-to-door garbage collection across several localities has led to open dumping and waste accumulation in public spaces, raising serious sanitation concerns in the state capital. A TOI reality check on Sunday across Gomtinagar, Mahanagar, Alambagh, Maulviganj, and Sitapur Road revealed that waste remained uncollected in many areas. However, Lucknow Municipal Corporation (LMC) officials said the disruption in some areas may have been due to sanitation workers being on leave during Bakrid. In Mahanagar, residents said garbage had not been collected for two consecutive days. "Since the waste wasn't collected from doorsteps, people dumped it in the open, where it was later scattered by stray animals," said Rajesh Yadav, 53. In Alambagh, concerns were heightened due to the onset of the rainy season. "With the rains approaching, scattered garbage poses a health risk. The collection service has been inconsistent in our area," said Abhijeet Kumar, 43. In Chandarnagar, garbage was seen dumped along roads and near shops. "There's a strong stench in the area due to open dumping," said Neetu, a commuter from Alambagh. Vendors in the area shared similar concerns. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Here's The Average Price of Gutter Protection For 2,500 Sq Ft House LeafFilter Gutter Protection Get Quote Undo "Garbage is regularly dumped here, creating an unpleasant environment. Still, we have to keep working—this is our livelihood," said Mohan Singh, a roadside stall owner. In some parts of Alambagh, despite regular visits by municipal vans, residents were seen discarding waste outside their homes. "The van comes routinely, but many avoid handing over waste and instead dump it outside. This habit is harming the area's cleanliness," said Preeti, a resident of the area. Similar complaints emerged from Gomtinagar as well. Shivendra Singh, a resident of Vishesh Khand, said, "Garbage outside our home hasn't been picked up for three days. The odour is unbearable, and the mosquito problem has worsened." In Vijyant Khand, residents reported overflowing bins and unattended waste. With the monsoon nearing, residents are concerned about potential waterlogging, mosquito breeding, and outbreaks of diseases like dengue and gastrointestinal infections. Those living along Sitapur Road urged the LMC to not only ensure timely collection but also run awareness campaigns against open dumping. When contacted, senior municipal official Lalit Kumar said, "Instructions have been issued to all operators to ensure complete waste collection and proper disposal. Non-compliance will lead to penalties."

Fatal Medicine
In February 2018, another startling case emerged after 33 people in a village in Uttar Pradesh's Unnao district tested positive for HIV. The culprit, Rajesh Yadav, a so-called doctor, would ride from house to house on his bicycle, offering a 'magic treatment' for just `10. His 'treatment'—an injection and three packets of some medicinal powder— promised to cure various ailments. Yadav reused the same syringe for all patients, spreading HIV among all thirty three. These bizarre incidents are not just limited to fake doctors. On April 16, a qualified doctor at a government hospital in Jalaun, Uttar Pradesh— Suresh Chandra—was caught on video asking a five-yearold boy to smoke a cigarette as treatment for a cold. Widely shared on social media, the video sparked public outrage. Health authorities transferred the doctor, and ordered an enquiry. But the scale of the problem of fake medical practitioners is staggering. In November 2023, the Delhi Police arrested two doctors and two fake doctors from a clinic located in Greater Kailash. Neeraj Agarwal, who operated the Agarwal Medical Centre, was a physician, but performed surgeries with the help of counterfeit credentials, along with Jaspreet Singh, Pooja Agarwal (Neeraj Agarwal's wife who posed as a doctor), and former laboratory technician Mahender Singh (who also posed as a doctor). The issue came to light when a patient underwent gallbladder stone removal and experienced severe post-operative distress leading to his death. At a debate titled 'Public Health? Immediate Need for Action Against Quackery' conducted by the Indian Medical Association (IMA)-Telangana, in March this year, it was highlighted that 75 per cent of fake doctors operate in Telangana alone, many of whom practice in urban centres like Hyderabad. Last year it was found that several unqualified individuals registered as doctors under the Rajasthan Medical Council (RMC) using forged documents and certificates of doctors from other states. A 2016 WHO report found that nearly one-third (31 per cent) of those claiming to be allopathic doctors in India in 2001 were educated only up to the secondary school level, and 57 per cent lacked any medical qualification. Though then Union Health Minister JP Nadda dismissed the report as 'erroneous' in January 2018 during a Lok Sabha session, a subsequent FAQ on the National Medical Commission Bill, issued by the Press Information Bureau on August 6, 2018, confirmed that 57.3 per cent of personnel practicing allopathic medicine in India have no medical training.
