To deter dumping of garbage in the open areas, the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation plans to install CCTV cameras at all the 1,116 Garbage Vulnerable Points. The civic officials have written letters to the Hyderabad and Cyberabad police Commissioners to help them in maintaining vigilance and to keep the streets clean.
On Tuesday, Municipal Commissioner B. Janardhan Reddy held a review meeting with the higher officials of various wings of the GHMC for effective coordination to sort out sanitation and other civic issues.
The Commissioner directed the officials to crack the whip and remove Swachh Auto drivers from who were not performing their duties properly. The GHMC has spent ₹ 200 crore for procuring 2,000 Swachh Autos for segregation of garbage but it has come to notice that only 1,480 auto drivers are attending and transporting the garbage to the transfer stations.
