Ahmed Nagar: More than one lakh people residing in Ahmed Nagar near Masab Tank are facing a tough time as they are staying in a stink for more than a year as the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) workers are not collecting garbage regularly and do not have sufficient garbage trolleys. Despite repeated representation to the GHMC, residents do not find any solution to their problems.

A resident of Ahmed Nagar Ayesha Begum said that garbage collection is one of the biggest problems in the area. She said that the GHMC workers comes only once in a week to collect the garbage, so sometimes, we throw the waste in open nala in the area.

Another resident Saif said that we have given multiple representations to GHMC to provide tricycles to collect the garbage as the roads in the area are in a bad condition, official had agreed to provide tricycles, but nothing has worked out till now. He said that though the representation has been given at the highest level, but no work has been done at the ground-level.
