Due to the removal of sanitation workers, door-to-door domestic waste collection has come to a grinding halt
Guntur : Several corporators expressed serious concern over deteriorating sanitation in Guntur city during a GMC council meeting held here on Thursday. Corporator Khaja Mohiddin Chisti recalled that the GMC introduced e-autos and removed the sanitation workers.
He said GMC did not have sufficient e-autos. Due to the removal of sanitation workers, door-to-door domestic waste collection has come to a grinding halt. Side drains were not cleaned which led to deterioration of sanitation.

Addressing the meeting, MLA Mustafa criticised that the GMC is neglecting Guntur East Assembly constituency and alleged that Mayor Kavati Manohar Naidu is neglecting the people’s problems.
