On this very serious problem Irfan called a meeting of all the residents. In the meeting Irfan discussed the problem and said that we are using too much polythene bags and other plastic items which we throw here and there. All these move into the drains and sewer lines which get choked and do not allow flow of water. As these are non-biodegradable, they remain as such for a long time. So to overcome this problem, we should use bags made up of cloth or jute which are biodegradable.
