Some traders along Mumbwa road have called for the speedy removal of industrial waste that block the main drainage along the road.

Allan Mulubwa one of the concerned traders told Komboni radio news that the drainage is ever blocked due to the effluents from companies situated along Mumbwa road.

Kapembwa Silwamba another trader lamented that stagnant waste along the drainage remains a source of worry to not only the traders but other road users especially during the rainy season.

Others have called on companies that discharge the waste to source for solutions that will ensure the easy flow of the waste.

Mr. Phiri said once the works are completed sanity will be brought back along the drainage.
