Ganga Turns Dumping Ground in Chairman's Ward: Students Fall Ill from Foul Smell

• Ganga in Jayanagar Majilpur Municipality's Ward No. 9 (Chairman's ward) is a daily dumping ground for garbage, including plastic and food waste.
• Students and teachers of Jayanagar Institute of Girls Higher Secondary School suffer from nausea and illness due to the foul smell, often needing handkerchiefs.
• The continuous dumping has severely polluted the Ganga, turning its water black and making it unusable for bathing, as noted by residents.
• Despite school complaints and municipal awareness campaigns, the problem persists; Chairman Sukumar Halder blames residents/traders and promises stricter action.
• Residents demand immediate, strict action from the municipality, fearing a major disaster if the unchecked dumping continues.
