They said that there were only five hoopers while in the month of April this year; two more hoopers were procured, taking the number of hoopers to seven.

President of Municipal Council, Musarat Kar told KNO that out of seven hoopers, six are functioning properly while a driver of one of the hoopers is on leave at present due to some medical emergencies. She, however, blamed people for not using the dustbins properly.

Meanwhile, the people here have accused the MC Sopore of ignoring their plights, saying that as the concerned authorities are throwing garbage at many spots, emanating foul smell from it.
