In several minority-dominated wards of Bareilly, including Ganj, Shahamatganj, and Qila, residents are facing serious challenges related to broken roads, irregular garbage collection, clogged drains, and poor street lighting. The worsening condition of civic infrastructure is affecting daily life and public health, especially for senior citizens, children, and working families.

Community figure Mubashir MB Malik has stepped forward to highlight these issues, calling for urgent attention from municipal authorities. During his recent field visits and interactions with residents, Malik noted, “People feel unheard. They are paying the price of administrative neglect. Clean surroundings and functioning infrastructure are not privileges — they are basic rights.”

He emphasized the need for immediate street sanitation, consistent garbage removal, and re-laying of inner roads that have become hazardous due to open potholes and stagnant water. Malik also proposed local citizen monitoring committees that can work closely with ward officers to report on-ground issues promptly and ensure faster resolutions.

To bridge the communication gap between residents and the administration, Malik is initiating a weekly “Jan Samvaad” (People’s Dialogue) in different mohallas, encouraging youth, elders, and women to voice their concerns directly. His team is also documenting problems through photographs and videos to present a formal report to the Bareilly Municipal Corporation.

“The time for excuses is over. What people demand is not luxury but dignity,” said Mubashir MB Malik, reaffirming his commitment to serve the underserved.
