THIS is in response to the letter ‘Stench still there” (GDN, July 2) over sewage or chemicals being pumped into Tubli Bay. Bahrain is a highly-polluted country and this is a known fact. So, it is not surprising that there are foul smells in different areas. Didn’t you notice that for this reason, there are no public beaches anywhere near the populated areas? The authorities know what they are doing and do not want water diseases to spread. This situation is not going to change unless something dramatic is done. So, the best thing perhaps is to find an apartment in Zallaq, if you intend to hang around in Bahrain for sometime. Zallaq is a sorry strip of wasteland by the way, but it’s much less polluted than the other places.
