Rubbish heap outside parliament building

More than a hundred makeshift stalls are set up daily on the pavement of Manik Mia Avenue along the boundary of the parliament compound. Waste from these food stalls, selling snacks such as fuchka and chotpoti, is dumped right on the spot. Left to rot, they spread a foul smell that makes the area unpleasant for pedestrians and visitors.
