Ravinder Yadav, additional commissioner at MCG, said: "We will get the garbage cleared from the area. Further, will try to figure out ways to prevent illegal dumping at the plot," he added.

He added: "The roads are filled with debris, accumulated sand, garbage, and filth, making them virtually undrivable and highly unsafe," he added. An MCG official acknowledged the manpower shortage.
