GHMC officials observed during daily inspections that garbage along Alijapur Road, near Karwan and Jubilee Hills circles, was left unattended for days, spreading across nearly 200 metres. This caused public inconvenience and unhygienic conditions. Despite repeated instructions, the agency did not act responsibly, forcing GHMC to levy the penalty.

GHMC warned that strict action will continue against negligence by sanitation agencies to ensure timely garbage clearance and safeguard public health, the statement added.
