Garbage Dumping Yard At River Jhelum In Baramulla
Ragpickers sort reusable items after collecting them from a garbage dumping yard on the banks of the Jhelum River in Baramulla, Jammu and Kashmir, India, on April 9, 2026. The disposal of garbage on riverbanks contributes to water pollution, affecting aquatic ecosystems. Freshwater lakes in Jammu and Kashmir, including Dal, Wular, and the Jhelum River, are experiencing ecological challenges due to untreated sewage, solid waste dumping, and high pollutant levels, with over 74% of 697 lakes either disappearing or shrinking.
