Cherlapally: For years now, residents in Cherlapally battled poisonous snakes, scorpions and other animals that roam freely in the area. The streets present a lifeless image with weeds growing wildly everywhere, and little to no human activity in the evening owing to the dangers posed on account of the animals. Call it ignorance or highhandedness of the GHMC, but living standards here are one of the worst in the city.
Sharing her woes, Maheshwari, a daily-wage worker said, “Due to unkept grass, there are a lot of mosquitoes in our area. It is difficult to walk on the streets after 4pm; we constantly live in the fear that we may get infected with malaria or dengue.” One of the worst maintained sections here is the government school, which is surrounded by thick weeds giving it an appearance of a “jungle”, as most residents call it.
Locals inform that maintenance workers from the GHMC come once in 15 days and clean the outer parts of the area. Meanwhile, the by-lanes are left untouched. “When we request them to clean our area, they ask us to mind our own business,” revealed Narsimha Rao, a labourer.
Meanwhile, officials of the GHMC continue to remain ignorant about the ground-reality of the problem. When contacted, Deputy Executive Director of GHMC, Uppal division, Balakrishna said, “I am sorry to hear about the problems people have been facing. I will consider the matter and deploy a team at the earliest.”
It remains to be seen if any action is undertaken.
