Pune Municipal Corporation — burning of leaves and garbage

I reside in mukund nagar, pune. There is an open plot owned by central government behind my house. The plot [ground] is surrounded by central government quarters for class iv workers. There are lot of trees in the area. Each family sweeps their front yard and road in front of their house and burns the leaves/garbage on the ground.

This causes my house to fill with smoke. Any time of the day i open my windows and door there is smoke in the air as everyone sweeps and burns according to their convenience. Some people burn in the evening, some early morning, some at night (Bonfire) they also tend to burn plastic/cloth/ cardboard's etc along with leaves which causes lot of pollution.

Can the pmc keep bins on the ground for tree waste [but i guess people will throw other garbage in it too], best option would be to enclose the ground or create children's park, jogging track etc. Pmc could lease it from central government and charge for the park. Its a shame to see such a big plot go to waste in prime location where playgrounds or parks are required.

Tried talking with the people but they do not listen and say that the pmc sweepers do not come to sweep the road daily and even if the sweeper sweeps the road they too tend to burn the leaves on the ground and the daily ghanta gadi's do not collect leaves so what can we do etc.

On one hand pmc insists on saving trees but what about the waste generated from them shouldn't there be a system in place for its disposal.
