In addition to that, she asked them to improve the attendance of workers and oversee door-to-door garbage collection from households and business centers.

In addition to door-to-door garbage collection, regular collection of waste from business centers and delivery to STPs, providing more income to Swachh Auto owners, timely measures to collect garbage swept on the road has resulted in Quthbullapur becoming an ideal circle in GHMC without GVP.”
