Port Blair, July 24: The Bhatu Basti junction has become one of the most prominent areas of South Andaman region but due to indiscriminate garbage dumping and freely roaming cattle, the area looks very dirty and also very underdeveloped.
A few years back when the vegetable vendors had created a total mess at Bhatu Basti Junction they were shifted to a separate area far from the Junction but close to the main road. This was also done to keep the Bhatu Basti Junction clean and free from cattle.
But now it has been found that at least three major vegetable shops have come up in Bhatu Basti Junction area and they have now again started dumping vegetable waste on the road side during evening hours.
This is one of the major reasons why dozens of dozens of cattle get attracted towards the Bhatu Basti Junction all the time. The not only come to the Bhatu Basti Junction to eat the waste vegetables but they create a total chaos at the Junction, almost everyday.
During late evening hours one can see vegetable vendors openly throwing vegetable waste right on the road, which is the key reason why the junction looks so dirty and unorganized.
All vegetable vendors must be strictly instructed to dispose of vegetable waste in a proper manner so that the prominent junction can be kept clean and free from cattle
