In Delhi, every single day, cows are seen munching on food scraps from a huge pile of garbage. It might seem strange, but that's their way of finding something to eat. The problem is, the food they're finding isn't good for them, and it can make them sick. Imagine going to a restaurant and not knowing if what you're eating is safe – that's how these cows feel every day. Now, there are people working at the same place where the cows are eating. These workers have a tough job – they clean up and manage all the trash that gets thrown away. It's not an easy job, but they do it to make sure the environment around us is cleaner and safer. The thing is, both the cows and the workers are facing a problem. The garbage isn't being thrown away in a way that's good for anyone. So, we need to find a better way to get rid of our trash. If we do that, it will help keep the cows and the workers healthy, and it will make our city a better place for everyone to live. It's like finding a better recipe for a cleaner and safer city!
