‘Segregate garbage’
At Siddipet, Finance Minister T. Harish Rao said a fine of ₹500 would be imposed for not segregating wet and dry garbage at source and for throwing garbage in open places or on roads.
Participating in Pattana Pragathi programme held at the district headquarters on Wednesday, Mr. Harish Rao said despite repeated appeals, people were not heeding the advice and throwing garbage in vacant places and not segregating wet and dry garbage.
“Every empty plot is transforming into a dump yard. It’s our responsibility to keep our lane neat and clean in addition to our houses. We will impose a fine of ₹500 against those who are violating the rule,” said Mr. Harish Rao, while visiting 20th and 30th wards.
The Minister directed the authorities to give connection for underground drainage within 10 days.
“Once there used to be water problem at Siddipet and it was completely addressed. We can address the garbage problem as well if you cooperate,” he told the public adding that while wet garbage would be collected every day dry garbage would be collected twice in a week and it must be segregated at source.
He said that jute bags would be distributed to 39,000 houses in the town as plastic was banned completely. He promised to take up beautification of Erra Cheruvu on the lines of Komati Cheruvu.
Mr. Harish Rao said he would request Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao to extend the deadline for GOs 58 and 59 and suggested that this would be final deadline to submit applications.
He said applications were pending for about 40 persons under GO 59 and directed the officials to hand over pattas for them in within a week.
