Mohali, June 22 -- Residents of Phase 11 held a meeting on Saturday to raise concerns over the garbage processing plant set up by the Mohali municipal corporation near Sector 65, which is close to the railway line in their locality. They alleged that the site, which was initially intended to be a dump for dry leaves, has now turned into a full-scale garbage dumping site, leading to serious hygiene and environmental concerns.

Residents said that all types of waste are now being dumped at the site, and the pile has grown into a garbage mound emitting a strong foul smell throughout the day. "We wake up in the morning and open our door for fresh air, but all we get is a foul smell," said Kulwant Singh Kaler, councillor of Phase 11, Mohali. "...
