People who take the bus in a part of Hyderabad called the JBS-Parade Ground route are very unhappy.

There is a big pile of trash near the bus stop, with plastic bags, papers, and old food.

Some people are also using the open space near the road as a toilet.

This makes the whole area smell very bad.

The bad smell bothers people while they wait for the bus.

Women, older people, and children are the most upset about it.

The trash also attracts mosquitoes and flies, which can make people sick.

People who use the bus want the trash removed right away.

They also want signs that tell people not to pee in public.

They hope the area can be cleaned up so everyone can wait for the bus comfortably.
