GHMC paints solution for garbage hotspots
The process involves red paint for houses, establishments, and vendors not linked to the Swachh Auto Tippers (SAT) system, and green/blue paint for those already covered. Marked units will be numbered, and GHMC sanitation teams will track monthly progress.
This approach will help identify service gaps and guide targeted improvements in waste management.
Further, GHMC will implement an incentive-based rating system for door-to-door collectors, with user feedback playing a key role.

‘90 acres of Gurramguda forest polluted'
Hyderabad: The forest department has issued notices to multiple civic agencies, including the Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (HMWSSB), the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC), and Badangpet Municipality, demanding an immediate halt to the discharge of untreated sewage into the Gurramguda reserved forest area. 'Wildlife vanishing' In separate communications, forest range officer Dr K Srinivas Reddy of Ibrahimpatnam pointed out that drainage water, reportedly flowing from colonies such as Hariharapuram, BN Reddy Nagar, Sripuram Colony, and the Sagar Complex, has turned nearly 90 acres of protected forest land into sewage pools. "This discharge of untreated drainage/sewage water into the protected forest area is causing severe ecological damage," Dr Reddy wrote in a letter addressed to the general manager of HMWSSB. The letter cites violations under multiple environmental and forest laws, including the Forest (Conservation) Act and the Environment (Protection) Act.

‘Pothole asana' protest jolts GHMC into action, crater fixed within hours
HYDERABAD: Less than 12 hours after a photo went viral showing two barefoot men striking yoga poses inside a pothole on Zenas International School Road in Hafeezpet, the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) filled the long-neglected crater. Dubbed 'Pothole Asana', the protest drew widespread attention and reignited criticism over the civic body's delayed road repairs. The image — showing two citizens in the tree pose inside the pothole — was a satirical jab at the six-month delay in fixing the hazard, despite multiple GHMC inspections. 'It shouldn't take viral memes to fix roads,' said Vinay Vangala, a social activist and regular commuter. 'But we're relieved it's finally repaired. Let's see if the corporation takes up similar work across the colony.' Hyderabad residents have used creative protests before — from planting saplings in potholes to floating paper boats in waterlogged lanes to call out civic apathy. While welcoming the swift response this time, locals say long-term planning and accountability are essential. 'We've prioritised main roads and high-traffic routes for now,' said Sridevi, assistant executive engineer, GHMC. 'Work in key areas like Madhapur, Miyapur and Jubilee Hills will also begin soon.'
