GHMC fixes over 100 potholes during monsoon drive
The city of Hyderabad has a group called GHMC that takes care of the city.
During the rainy season, they are doing a special 10-day cleanup.
They fixed more than 100 potholes in the roads.
Potholes are holes in the road that can be dangerous.
They also cleaned drains and removed lots of garbage.
This helps stop mosquitoes from breeding in dirty water.
Mosquitoes can make people sick.
They also taught people in schools about staying healthy.
The workers cleaned parks and put new trash bins near shops.
All of this helps keep the city clean and safe during the monsoon.
GHMC filled 103 potholes and 103 catch pits across Hyderabad as part of its 10-day Special Monsoon Drive.
The drive covered 30 wards on the sixth day, focusing on garbage removal, pothole repairs, and desilting.
GHMC removed 85.30 metric tonnes of legacy municipal solid waste and 22.20 MT of construction and demolition waste.
