GHMC faces backlash over complaint limit
The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) has a new rule that only lets people report one problem per day.
People are upset because they think this rule is silly and doesn't help with big problems like garbage or flooding.
Some people who try to help the city say the GHMC isn't fixing problems like it used to.
They also say the GHMC is not telling the truth about fixing problems.
The mayor isn't responding to complaints anymore, which makes people even more upset.
GHMC's online complaint system now limits users to one complaint per day.
Citizens and activists criticize the rule as illogical and ineffective.
Activists allege the GHMC's public dashboard shows reduced numbers of issues and resolutions.
Hyderabad Mayor Gadwal Vijayalakshmi has reportedly stopped responding to public complaints on social media.
Citizens claim they have to fix civic issues themselves due to the GHMC's inaction.
