Summary:

“The inner ring road is filled with garbage and VMC officials are ignoring the cleaning process of the flyovers at Ramavarappadu. Tonnes of garbage piled up on Inner ring road from Chanumolu Venkata Rao flyover to Ramavarappadu ring are damaging the look of the city and causing inconvenience to people. Besides, the officials arranged protective meshes on bridges to prevent people from dumping garbage in the canals, and this measure also yielded positive results.To avoid being penalised by VMC, builders and commercial units started dumping garbage on both sides of the inner ring road. The inner ring road is the face of the city and many tourists passing through the area will feel bad about the city,” said K.
