Garbage piles up in a canal along Faqirabad Road in Peshawar, Pakistan, obstructing the flow of water and causing disruption for local residents and commuters on February 9. The accumulation of waste leads to foul odors and unsanitary conditions, prompting calls for immediate action by the authorities. Canals in Peshawar, particularly in areas like Gulbahar, Faqirabad, and Yakatoot, have long suffered from being clogged with organic and solid waste. This pollution, including plastic bags, rotten food, and debris, transforms the waterways into dumping grounds, causing severe environmental and health concerns for residents.
