- Solid waste in Tandale Market
There is no place to put the solid waste (rubbish) as it was before. The rubbish container was removed as the collection of wastes but since the road is not passable, they have failed to return the container to its place which leads the rubbish to be spread around the market without proper management so it’s easy for the disease eruption.
Picture no. 1 & 2: The pictures show the spread of rubbish in the market due to lack of rubbish container.

After the flood has happened, the community has tried to solve their own problems by using their efforts. The pictures below explain:
Since the community has no ability to build the destructed stairs of their houses they have tried to use this way where they put the sand in the hard plastic and use it as the protection. They have used this way in protecting different things such as put it as the stairs (look picture no 19), leveling the roads (look picture no 20), use that to protect the foundation of the house (look picture no 21)
