Hyderabad's Gudimalkapur struggles with garbage piles & leaking sewers
A sanitation crisis in Gudimalkapur, Hyderabad, has been highlighted by residents on social media. Piles of garbage, a leaking sewer, and a lack of proper dustbins have created an unhygienic environment, particularly around the vegetable market entrance. The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) has acknowledged the issue and assigned it to the area's Assistant Medical Officer of Health (AMOH). However, residents express frustration over the lack of action despite repeated complaints. In a related incident, the Uppal Deputy Commissioner fined a litterer Rs. 500 after monitoring CCTV footage, highlighting a possible solution to curb littering. This move has garnered positive feedback from citizens, suggesting that fines could be an effective deterrent.01:33 PM Jan 07, 2025 IST
