Owaisi Urges Hyderabad CM to Restore Mechanised Sweeping
Imagine if giant street sweepers were cleaning the roads in Hyderabad.
Well, they stopped because they ran out of money.
Now, a politician named Owaisi wants those sweepers back because they're safer for the workers and better for the environment.
The city officials say they stopped the sweeping because they didn't have enough money and the contracts with the companies that cleaned the roads ended.
The people who clean the streets say it's dangerous because cars drive too fast.
Owaisi is hoping the government will approve the money needed to start the sweepers again.
Asaduddin Owaisi urged the Chief Minister to reinstate mechanised sweeping.
Mechanised sweeping ceased on June 30 due to reported lack of funds.
GHMC officials cited lack of funds and CRMP contract expiration as reasons.
Safety of workers, environmental impact, and cost efficiency were cited as reasons for mechanised sweeping.
Sanitation staff expressed concerns about speeding vehicles and challenging work conditions.
