Hyderabad Faces Garbage Crisis Amid GHMC Inaction
In Hyderabad, there is a big problem with garbage not being collected.
The streets smell very bad, and people are upset because the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) is not doing enough to clean up.
Residents say that garbage has been lying on the roads for many days, and it is making the area dirty and smelly.
They also complain that stray dogs are eating the garbage and sometimes attacking people.
Some people have posted about this problem on social media, but the GHMC is not fixing it properly.
Activists say that the GHMC is not being honest about solving these problems.
They want the GHMC to do a better job of cleaning up the garbage and keeping the city clean.
Hyderabad residents face severe inconvenience due to unattended garbage heaps and foul smells.
GHMC officials have not responded to repeated requests to clear the garbage, according to residents.
Areas like Shanthi Nagar, Jubilee Hills, and Old City are particularly affected by the garbage crisis.
Residents report increased stray dog activity and public urination due to the garbage problem.
Activists allege that GHMC misleads netizens by marking issues as 'resolved' without actual resolution.
