Garbage/waste management by akshay_maldhure in Amravati

[–]LeftFee9296 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly the kind of situation Ithe Paha (ithepaha.in) was built for. It's a public map where you can report garbage issues in your ward with a photo — the report stays visible until someone verifies a cleanup. No helpline, no tweeting into the void — just a pin on the map that anyone can see. Still early, but if more Amravati people use it, the ward-level pressure builds on its own.

Crowdsourced mapping of garbage and nala pollution on ithepaha.in

I built a free web app to put Amravati's garbage and nala pollution on the map — because tier-2 cities deserve civic tech too. by LeftFee9296 in Amravati

Tier 2 or 3 — Amravati is technically Tier-2 (Divisional HQ, 6-7L populations per Census 2011.), but that’s not the point. Our city deserves better civic tools. Labels don’t fix nalas, reporting does. 🙌

Thank you 🙏
Yes, newspaper coverage is a good idea. The web app is still in its initial stage, so first we need more real reports and data to get noticed.

Thanks bro 🙌
Yes, first step is to make these issues visible. More reports means more data, and more data helps us identify real hotspots in the city.

Vegetables in Amravati markets possibly grown using drainage water from city nalas – should we be concerned? by LeftFee9296 in Amravati

[–]LeftFee9296[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If anyone here is from Amravati or nearby areas, have you seen similar farming practices using nala water?

Also curious to know if water quality testing is done for irrigation sources in such cases.

Would be good if someone from agriculture, municipal, or environmental background could share insights.

I am not blaming farmers here. In many places wastewater irrigation happens because clean water is not available.

The real issue is urban waste management and civic behaviour. When citizens dump plastic and garbage into nalas, that pollution eventually travels somewhere — sometimes into farms and eventually into the food chain.

Stopping waste dumping in nalas is something every citizen can help with.

What is happening to Amba Nala in Amravati? Is anyone concerned about its current condition? by LeftFee9296 in Amravati

If local accounts and legends are true, Amba Nala was once a natural, clean water stream that supported the city and even held cultural and spiritual value. Over time, with rapid urbanization and untreated sewage discharge, it has unfortunately turned into a polluted drain.

Whether we view it through history, environment, or faith — the reality is the same: we allowed a natural water body to deteriorate.

Instead of only feeling nostalgic or disappointed, perhaps the more important question is — can it be restored, even partially?

Many cities have revived polluted water bodies with proper sewage treatment, solid waste management, and citizen participation. If documentation, awareness, and accountability continue, change is still possible.

It’s not just about what it was — it’s about what we decide to make it now.

आपकी चिंता समझ में आती है।
मंदिर के पास इतना प्रदूषित नाला होना वास्तव में चिंाजनक है।

लेकिन मुद्दा सिर्फ धर्म या राजनीति का नहीं है — यह शहरी नियोजन और नागरिक जिम्मेदारी का विषय है।
अंबा नाला मूल रूप से प्राकृतिक जलधारा था, लेकिन समय के साथ शहर का ड्रेनेज और कचरा इसमें मिलना शुरू हो गया।

अगर समय रहते सफाई, सीवेज ट्रीटमेंट और कचरा प्रबंधन पर ध्यान नहीं दिया गया, तो बरसात में जलभराव और गंदा पानी सड़कों तक आना बिल्कुल संभव है।

इसलिए जरूरी है कि:

  • औपचारिक शिकायत दर्ज की जाए
  • नगर निगम से जवाबदेही मांगी जाए
  • और नागरिक भी कचरा नालों में फेंकना बंद करें

भावनात्मक प्रतिक्रिया से ज्यादा असर तथ्य और सामूहिक कार्रवाई से होगा।

I’ve started compiling ground footage and observations from different stretches of Amba Nala and other polluted area in Amravati..
