They complain about foul odor emitted by garbage stray animals attracted by junk furniture

  FUJAIRAH – Indian and Pakistani workers residing in Al Gurfa have raised a howl over trash dumped on the streets and complained about the foul odor from the piles of garbage and stray animals that it attracts. In an interview, Pakistani national H.K., 24, said "there are a number of spots that were never cleared of garbage." "The situation is getting worse and we can smell it from our nearby house," he added. Old and damaged furniture pieces are also among the garbage dumped on the streets, attracting stray animals. According to M.K., another resident of Al Gurfa, "stray dogs find it the best place to stay, as they keep eating from the garbage and find shelter in the dumped furniture. The garbage also attracts insects and flies, which may cause diseases." Meanwhile, Assela Al Mualla, head of public services and environment department of Fujairah, denied that piles of garbage are left on the streets of Al Gurfa. Al Mualla said there is regular collection of garbage in the area. With regard stray animals, she said the municipality is ready to deal with them. She urged residents of Fujairah to call 80036 for any complaint about uncollected trash and stray animals for prompt action.
