“The part-time Municipal Minister who is supposed to oversee this is busy purchasing MLA and going around Delhi. The government should wake up from their sleep. The city should be kept clean. Citizens’ health should be protected,” he wrote.

Further, he said mosquitoes are breeding due to the accumulation of garbage in slums and colonies, adding that people are suffering from seasonal diseases such as dengue, malaria and diarrhoea.

Alleging that garbage disposal appears to be done only on paper, he blamed the lack of sudden visits by the Mayor and officials for sanitation management going astray in Hyderabad.
