Visitors leave, trash remains on roads
1 2 3 4 5 6 Guwahati: Piles of food waste, used plastic and thermocol plates left by devotees have created an unsanitary situation in several areas, including Bhootnath temple, Pandu, following the conclusion of the Ambubachi Mahayog at Kamakhya temple on Thursday. The accumulated garbage, primarily generated after devotees consumed meals from community kitchens, has begun emitting foul odors and poses health concerns for residents and pilgrims in the area. "Workers of GMC did not come to collect garbage today. Maybe GMC workers are more focused on cleaning the area near the temple but over a thousand devotees stayed near the Bhootnath temple and they ate from the community kitchens operating in the area and the smell from accumulated food waste is becoming unbearable," a shop owner said. Guwahati Municipal Corporation (GMC) mayor Mrigen Sarania said, "The GMC has been working tirelessly throughout the Ambubachi Mahayog to maintain cleanliness and sanitation. Our workers are working round the clock, but the sheer volume of devotees created unprecedented challenges. Our teams are now working to address any remaining cleanup requirements systematically." "GMC will continue this cleanup process till June 28 to keep our city clean and sanitised after the Ambubachi, many devotees are still present in the city and they have meals from various community kitchens due to which food waste gets accumulated quickly even after cleaning the areas continuously," added Sarania. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 2025 Top Trending local enterprise accounting software [Click Here] Esseps Learn More Undo A local resident of Kamakhya gate, Jyotiprakash Pathak expressed, "This year situation is better, areas near the Kamakhya temple is being regularly cleaned by the GMC workers, earlier after the conclusion of Ambubachi Mela the whole area used to be dirty, with garbage and devotees' footwears lying around here and there, but now the situation has improved." Pathak added, "The area near the Boothnath temple needs serious attention from the GMC, as the area started emitting foul smell from leftover food that the devotees had from the community kitchens." Many NGOs and social organisations also organised cleanliness drives to keep the areas near the Kamakhya temple and camps for devotees clean amid the Ambubachi Mahayog. Two such organisations are 'Voice of Environment' (VoE) and Gauhati University unit's National Service Scheme (NSS) volunteers. According to a senior member of VoE, Moharana Choudhury, they organised a cleanliness drive at the Kamakhya station camp in effort to keep the area clean. Mangal Seal, a NSS volunteer stated that they ran a cleanliness drive at the end of the day after serving refreshments to the devotees.
