Hyderabad's Waterlogging Crisis: Plastic Waste and Infrastructure Failures

Hyderabad faces severe waterlogging issues during the monsoon season.

Residents blame the authorities for delayed desilting drives and inadequate storm-drain infrastructure.

However, municipal workers point out that the primary cause is the large amount of plastic waste clogging the drains.

Residents often toss trash into open nalas, which then clog the drains and cause waterlogging.

Municipal workers risk their health to unclog the drains, but they emphasize that citizens must take personal responsibility for their waste to solve the problem.
