From Pankaj Sharma:

It is a common adage that “Cleanliness is next to Godliness” but I think this statement does not apply to Kanpur. The people have sacrificed their lives in living this dirt and trash. Wherever you go you will find a heap of garbage lying aside the road. Is this true picture of Kanpur? Govt doesn’t pay heed to any of these things. Due to monsoon showers things have got worse. The Times of India clearly quoted

“With the beginning of monsoon season there is a rise in water-borne diseases. Who should be blamed for stagnating water on roads, stinking heaps of garbage following the accumulation of drain water and choked streets turning breeding ground for mosquitoes.”

The negligence on part of KNN authorities has affected lives of common man badly. How a person can live in such an unhygienic conditions? Don’t we know unhygienic condition can cause many diseases like malaria, Lyme disease etc?
According to Reuter News Agency, Kanpur is considered as major centre for leather products and textiles. The city has a booming steel, chemicals, two-wheelers, engineering, and fertilizer industries. There are numerous small- and medium-scale enterprises in the city.
