Garbage piling up as GHMC sleeps: Public

Begumpet: Just beside the swanky flyover is the Old Custom Basti with more than 300 families. The waste from Balkampet, Indira Gandhi Puram pipeline lands in the area but the civic body does not pick it up.

Garbage has been piling up for years. There is no proper access to the area under the bridge, hence garbage is not picked up, say the people.

Abdul, a shopkeeper, said, "For the past five years, garbage has been piling up.

During elections the candidates assured the locals that the problem would be solved and a mechanism to lift the garbage would be implemented but nothing happened." Vijay, an employer, said, "All are going from this bridge, but no one is seeing this side."
