It is necessary for the local village panchayat, viz the VP of Adpai- Durbhat to take a note of this matter and provide a dustbin at these strategic premises so that the jetty remains neat and tidy on a permanent basis. 

Let us hope that the elected representatives at this VP would initiate prompt positive action in this regard before the existing undesirable situation turns from bad to worse. Of course, cleanliness needs to be maintained at all costs.
