The smell of wet waste can put the body at risk of these infectious diseases, learn the details

Small huts are found everywhere in the country, including Mumbai. Poor sanitation in slums can be detrimental to the body and sometimes even life-threatening. Large garbage heaps surround many slums in Mumbai. Waste accumulated from small slums to large towers is brought to dumping grounds.
