The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) is to start lifting garbage in the evening also from next Monday. The present practice is to lift garbage from households through a network of outsourced staff through trolleys.

The new initiative comes in the wake of the complaints. In a recent meeting with officials, GHMC Commissioner M Dana Kishore informed that around four vehicles and bob cots would be allotted in each circle of the city to lift garbage in the evening from Monday.

There are nearly 500 trucks, 2,500 Swachh auto-trolleys for collection and disposal of waste generated in all the circles across the city. More number of vehicles would be hired by the GHMC to collect the garbage in the evening time, said officials.
