Kurnool Faces Sanitation Crisis Amid Monsoon Fears
People in Kurnool city are worried about the cleanliness of their neighborhoods.
The city produces a lot of garbage every day, but the cleaning efforts are mostly focused on the main roads.
This leaves many smaller streets and areas with piles of trash and dirty drains.
Residents are afraid that this could cause diseases, especially with the monsoon season coming.
They want the city officials to clean the drains and pick up trash every day.
The city officials say they are working on it and are trying to teach people how to dispose of their trash properly.

Interior areas like Ganesh Nagar, Old Kallur, and Budhavarpet face unattended waste and overflowing drains.
