Garbage bags dumped near the entrance gate of the Multi-Disciplinary Sports Centre (MDSC), commonly known as the State Stadium, in Dimapur on April 8. The spot is not a designated garbage-dumping site. The incident highlights the rampant and indiscriminate disposal of waste that has become a growing menace across residential areas of the city, where garbage is routinely dumped on roadsides, street corners and public spaces, reflecting a deep-rooted lack of civic sense among the public. Despite repeated appeals by authorities, unregulated garbage dumping continues to pose serious sanitation and public health concerns for residents of Dimapur. (Morung Photo)
