Hyderabad, February 24: With sanitation workers of the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) having stopped lifting of garbage from the twin cities on account of the two-day bandh, heaps of garbage have piled up in almost all lanes and by-lanes.
Because of garbage not being cleared, foul and nauseating smell has started emanating in localities.
About 3,800 metric tonnes of garbage, generated daily in the GHMC limits is lifted by 18,000 sanitation workers.
Even mechanised sweeping units used during night have stopped because of the bandh. GHMC commissioner Sameer Sharma held a meeting with union leaders and it was decided to resume the lifting of garbage from Wednesday morning. However, leaders said the non cooperation movement would continue.
