The momentum behind this is undeniable. People are clearly tired of breathing in this toxic air.

Powers that be can't just say that the burning sewerage sludge will extinguish itself within the next two to three months. Not acceptable! Get in there with your dozers , turn it over, blast it with foam or whatever you need to do, but the situation can't continue as is.

It is a health hazard. It should be common sense to stop the smoke considering there are four schools and two communities in close proximity.
