MMC chief cracks whip on sanitation, civic works in Kapra

Hyderabad: Stressing the need to strengthen civic infrastructure and ensure a clean and safe environment for residents, Malkajgiri Municipal Corporation (MMC) Commissioner T Vinay Krishna Reddy directed officials to prioritise sanitation, road development, public safety and park maintenance during an extensive field inspection of Kapra Circle on Tuesday.

During the inspection, the Commissioner visited several Garbage Vulnerable Points (GVPs) and reviewed civic issues at various locations. He instructed officials to install RCC slabs over the open drain near the GVP at Anupuram Transformer to prevent garbage accumulation. At Radhika Junction, Town Planning officials were directed to identify and mark road margins after assessing the available road width.

He also instructed officials to undertake gravel filling at the GVP near Teja Wine Shop and install fencing around the transformer at Anupuram Japanese Park to ensure public safety.

Inspecting HUDA Park, the Commissioner suggested converting the space currently used for parking into a children’s play area and providing the necessary basic amenities. Officials were also asked to assess the actual width of the main road near Tanishq Jewellery and clearly mark its margins.

Regarding the Foot Over Bridge (FOB), he directed officials to identify the department responsible for its maintenance. If it falls under HMDA’s jurisdiction, details of the concerned officials and the assigned watchman should be prominently displayed for public information. The Commissioner further instructed officials to eliminate Garbage Vulnerable Points around Kandukur O.U.T Colony Park and undertake special sanitation measures to maintain cleanliness in the surrounding areas.
