Nowadays huge lumps of garbage can be seen under open sky at different places in the metropolitan city. As a consequence, the pedestrians passing by the dustbins are seriously affected by the obnoxious smell coming out of these open dustbins. Sometimes the odour becomes so acute that the passers-by have to cover their nostrils to escape from the menace. The City Corporation authorities seem to have turned a blind eye to this serious problem. They should replace these open dustbins with the covered ones. This would solve the problem to some extent. Besides, the city dwellers should also perform their duties. They should throw the wastes inside the dustbins, not here and there.
