On 22nd Jan 2022 I had severe garbage problem due to the stray dogs which was less earlier times. At night I kept the garbage bin outside the gate for the CCP/ Panchayat worker to take the garbage as usual in the morning. The bin was overturned by stray dogs all over the road which are there all over Dona Paula area. Also the plastic bag which I kept hanging to the gate for the Milkman to put 2 milk bags was torn in pieces. This I noticed when I got up in the morning. These dogs are hungry perhaps as Covid might have affected them too. Perhaps no food is put to them regularly by residents. To overcome this nonsense I have modified our garbage bin by putting school bag type strap with a buckle and the milk bag is replaced by a metal box. ( see the photo) We see also daily garbage near the Outpost Dona Paula police station and poor CCP lady workers slogging to collect the garbage spilled on the road because the CCP trolley boxes at the collection point have overturned as they have no proper protection from animals. Perhaps CCP can be inspired by my at-home-shortcut-solution and find some better solution, perhaps like proper animal-proof enclosures or bins with clasps so that no garbage is thrown on the roads by any stray animal or gust of heavy wind.
