GHMC Tightens Waste Rules, Marks Non-Compliant Homes
The GHMC in Hyderabad is starting a new rule to make sure everyone gives their garbage to the Swacch Auto Teams (SAT).
If a house doesn't give their garbage, it will get a red mark.
First, they will talk to the people to make them understand.
If the problem isn't fixed, the house might get a penalty.
The SAT drivers and workers will be responsible if they don't reach all houses.
Houses that follow the rules will get blue or green marks.
Right now, only buildings are marked, not individual flats.
Some people think the GHMC should ask before putting a red mark, and they worry about poor services being marked too.
