Garbage containers, bins occupy road

Hussaini Alam: A narrow road with heavy garbage containers on a sideway at SBI Branch at Hussaini Alam is causing hardships to bank customers who are facing great difficulties to park their vehicles outside in the absence of proper space before moving in to carry out their transactions.

What is more obvious is the existence of four heavy garbage containers placed straight in the line next to the bank and adjacent to the road preventing the customers from parking their vehicles.

These containers at a narrow road are eating into big chunk of space which, if the containers are moved elsewhere, would provide a sufficient space to accommodate more number of vehicles.

There is no much space available to park the vehicles before the bank and the existing four heavy garbage containers are adding more to the customer's vows. Moreover, the all-pervading odor emanating from the garbage containers hits the area hard, besides spoiling the ambiance, said Mohammed Imam Tahseen, a city-based social activist and president of SBI Account Holders' Association.

Leave alone the customer, the branch manager himself is facing difficulties on a regular basis to park his car before or near the bank. When contacted, the manager admitted to the difficulties being faced by the customers at the bank due to presence of the heavy garbage containers.

"It is better if the garbage containers are shifted to some other locations in order to ease the chocked space and allow optimum utilisation of already congested area to park the vehicles," feels SBI Hussaini Alam Branch Manager Phanendra.
