Littered lanes of Chikhalthana

Once a proud symbol of industrial growth, the Chikhalthana industrial estate in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar is now losing its appeal. Mounds of garbage and unmanaged waste at key points paint a grim picture of civic neglect. As new and old industrialists frequent the area, the scene captured on November 1 highlights the urgent need for cleanliness and upkeep.
