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 Rs. 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.

The Commissioner instructed the officials to issue notices to drivers who were absent from duty for more than 10 days.

The
officials were also told to coordinate with function hall managements
so that their open plots can be used for composting. Steps to control
open urination was one more issue that was discussed during the meeting.
