Garbage is a major issue in our effort to keep india clean. Our pm had launched the swachh bharat program and a lot of our politicians used this as a photo shoot opportunity but with little traction on the ground. I am today highlighting one such problem with garbage.
- people still throw garbage on the roads with impunity. Is it time to penalize them for making our city dirty?
- municipal workers offcourse are doing the world a favor by taking a salary because they definitely are not doing their jobs. Is it time to shut down such behemoth organizations and privatize the cleaning operations?
The sweepers get a good salary with benefits but when they come for work they ask for money from the residents to clean the road and the garbage. Why are we tolerating this corruption? Will this be taken up and resolved or as usual nothing will be done?
This is street no 2, st. John's road, east marredpally, secunderabad where the local residents have made the end of the street a garbage dump.
- the garbage man says he has strict instructions only to pick up household garbage. He will not pick it up even if you are willing to pay for the same.
- the municipal sweepers state that they have strict instructions to only clean main roads and not side streets. They will offcourse come over and pick up bottles and other stuff that they can sell from the same spot walking over the garbage thrown here.
- talking to the residents of the apartment and the independent houses refuse to listen when we try to stop them and their workers from throwing the garbage on the street.
- i have filed 3 complaints on the ghmc site and everytime they have closed the complaints stating "will look into it".
- how can a complaint be closed without an action being taken? Thinking about an action or reading the complaint is not a resolution but this being a govt organization expecting a solution may be asking for too much.
- why have a grievance cell when no action is taken?
- the feedback on the performance of the cell is very low and there seems to be no effort to make an improvement to make them efficient and effective.
Action required :
- regular cleaning of all main roads, bylanes, streets and lanes in east marredpally.
- communication to the residents on the cleaning schedule and who is responsible to ensure the work is done. This should be displayed prominantly in all localities.
- holding the ghmc officials accountable for not doing their job as they are responsible to ensure that secunderabad is a clean city
- accountability of the sweepers who are not doing their job and are blackmailing the residents to dish out money to clean the streets.
Who will make this street swatch because as per ghmc this road and umpteen other such roads are not in india as the swatch bharat drive does not apply here?
