Neighborhood watch keeps Gairi Gaon clean

GANGTOK, 19 Sept: In order to keep the area clean and to stop indiscriminate dumping of garbage, a group of residents of the neighbourhood have come together and started a night watch. People were indiscriminately dumping garbage on the roadside late in the night at Gairi Gaon.
The local residents first put up a hoarding urging people not to throw garbage there. As this failed to put a stop to the problem, some of the residents have started keeping watch till midnight for the past one week. During the watch, some people were caught dumping garbage and were warned and also sensitized to not follow such practice.
Now, garbage dumping on the roadside has completely stopped. However, the night watch is still being carried out by the residents of the area.
