Chandrayangutta: Besides underscoring the need for cleaner city, the Slum Level Federation meeting which was conducted in Bandlaguda (near Barkas) on Wednesday, threw emphasis on water conservation from all sections of the society.

Women shared their grievances and concerns with the officials. The Zonal Commissioner called upon the residents to not to throw garbage in water bodies, nalas and on the road and to handover it directly to the garbage collection vehicles.
