Broken Roads and Dirty street-A Citizen’s Perspective
During this photo journal activity, I observed my route from home to Market . This experience made me realize that many problems exist around us, but we often ignore them in our daily lives.
The first issue I noticed was broken roads. Many parts of the road were damaged, and even the drainage system under the road was exposed or broken. This makes traveling difficult and dangerous for people, especially for students and bikers.
The second issue was garbage. I saw waste scattered in many places, especially near shops and roadsides. In some areas, people were even sitting near piles of garbage, which shows how normal this problem has become. this is not only effect our city but also creates serious health risks.
The third issue was broken footpaths. Footpaths are meant for pedestrians, but many of them were damaged or not usable. This is unsafe for people.

Among all these problems, garbage was the most noticeable issue for me. It was everywhere, and it felt like people have stopped caring about cleanliness.
This activity helped me understand that being a responsible citizen means noticing these issues and thinking about how we can improve them. Even small steps, like keeping our surroundings clean, can make a big difference.
This experience made me more aware of my surroundings, and I will try to be more responsible in the future.
