Delay in clearing tree branches irks locals

Miyapur: Locals staying near Satyabharati Function Hall, Prajay City Apartments and Allwyn X Roads bus stop are furious over the indifferent attitude shown by the civic authorities in clearing the fallen trees and tree branches from the locality.

The locals allege that the tree branches were cut down weeks ago as a precaution during monsoon as trees are uprooted and branches fall due to heavy rains. A local resident shared, "A team of workers came on a vehicle and cut down overgrown branches of trees to avoid it falling when it rains, but they seldom clear the branches as it is the responsibility of other department."

If these branches are not cleared immediately, they would start decomposing and foul smell will begin to emanate causing inconvenience to the locals and commuters, they said.
