Article Summary:
Rubbish Burned
Motorists and pedestrians passing through the Hayel Saeed Street in Sanaa were quite astonished to see huge mounds of rubbish being burned in the middle of the road. Smoke and fumes created havoc in the area. The private rubbish-collection companies and contractors do not seem to be doing their job. The municipal and health authorities, on the other hand, are wholly unconcerned.
