The State Government is planning to slap a penalty on those who throw garbage, debris and litter on the roads instead of using dust bins being provided.
Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao hinted at this, stating that roads should be found free from garbage as the government will supply two dust bins (wet and dry) to every household. KCR stated this in a review meeting at Hitex on the five-day long Swatch Hyderabad drive in the presence of Governor ESL Narasimhan and ministers. Claiming that the clean drive was successful and will continue, he exhorted the people and shops to abstain from throwing trash, litter, debris or garbage on the roads.
Roads are getting clogged due to storm waters as Nalas were encroached by houses, KCR said. This problem should be resolved by providing the dwellers with alternative facility. The government will provide 2500 trolley autos to unemployed youth to shift the garbage to dumping yard from the houses. He hinted at slapping penalty on the violators and asked to cooperate for keeping the city clean.
‘Our priority is to make Nalas and roads clean to make the city beautiful through people cooperation’. Reiterating his stand to provide housing for the poor, KCR said that houses on Nalas will be removed besides providing them an alternative and asked the officials to follow a scientific approach on providing civic amenities on time like water and power. Of the 77 Nalas, five are joining Hussain Sagar and the rest of 72 are merging into Musi , he said and directed the officials to take necessary measures of creating awareness among the people against throwing garbage on the roads.
The electricity officials are on the job of removing high tension electric wires from atop the houses, he said. The chief minister expressed concern on the fusion of drainage waters into drinking water pipelines in some places leading to health problems.(NSS)
