Malkajgiri Steps Up Sanitation Drive as Civic Chief Targets Garbage Hotspots

Malkajgiri Municipal Corporation Commissioner T Vinay Krishna Reddy conducted a field inspection across several locations on Wednesday, directing officials to remove garbage vulnerable points, improve sanitation, protect pedestrian movement and expand the responsible reuse of treated wastewater.

During the inspection near Life Spring Hospital, the Commissioner instructed municipal staff to level and cap roadside garbage vulnerable points with soil and dust material. Officials were told not to leave pits after the work, as open depressions can collect stagnant water, encourage mosquito breeding and create foul odour.

At a garbage vulnerable point near the carbon company, Reddy directed staff to clean nearby traffic dividers and electric poles. He also instructed officials to prune plants and remove accumulated soil and waste from footpaths to make pedestrian movement safer.

The inspection also covered Tirumal Nagar Colony, where municipal staff were told to ensure daily garbage clearance and prevent waste from accumulating. At the RK Nagar railway bridge, officials were directed to keep both sides of the bridge free of garbage through regular cleaning and monitoring.

The locations identified during the inspection reflect several routine civic-service challenges that affect residents at street level. Unmanaged waste can obstruct footpaths, reduce visibility around roads and public infrastructure, and contribute to foul odour and water stagnation. The instructions issued during the inspection place responsibility on field staff to maintain regular clearance rather than respond only after waste has accumulated.

Reddy also inspected the sewage treatment plant at Jain Balaji Big Town. He reviewed the treatment of wastewater generated within the township and examined the reuse of treated water for watering garden plants. The Commissioner emphasised sustainable water management and responsible reuse of treated wastewater.

The inspection comes with regular field monitoring positioned as a central requirement for maintaining sanitation and civic facilities. The Commissioner stressed the need for timely sanitation measures, elimination of garbage vulnerable points and continued monitoring to maintain a clean and healthy urban environment.

Municipal officials have been instructed to carry out daily garbage clearance at the identified locations, maintain the area around the railway bridge, improve footpath conditions and continue using treated wastewater for gardening at the inspected township.
