The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) has urged citizens to take up the issue of pollution in the city.
GHMC Commissioner Somesh Kumar, in an appeal on Monday, asked citizens to lodge complaints on pollution caused by industries, vehicles, open burning of leaves and garbage, crop residue, rubber and waste plastic, which could lead to health problems.
Those coming across such activities could complain to deputy commissioners, assistant medical officer of health, zonal commissioners and additional commissioners (health and sanitation) concerned, whose phone numbers are available on the GHMC website ‘www.ghmc.gov.in’, according to a press release. Citizens can also call the civic body’s toll free number: 21111111 or lodge complaints online.
