In response to the complaint, the official GHMC (Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation) X handle acknowledged the issue, stating, “Dear citizen, the area UBD team has been informed to attend to it. @DDKHZGHMC.”
Speaking with the Hyderabad Mail, local resident Vishal raised serious concerns about the condition of a community park. He stated that unauthorized parking of vehicles within the park restricts access for residents, especially children and elderly individuals.
Additionally, he pointed out the unsafe storage of gas stoves and other materials in the area, highlighting the significant fire hazard it poses. Vishal also emphasized that a lack of proper maintenance has resulted in overgrown weeds, broken pathways, and damaged benches, making the park unusable for the community.
Vishal also raised concerns about the accumulation of garbage, which has led to an unhygienic environment and is further obstructing residents’ use of the park. “Due to these issues, residents are unable to enjoy the park, and it has become a source of inconvenience for them,” he added.
Vishal mentioned that he had informed local MLA Raja Singh, who in turn communicated with the Zonal Commissioner. He also stated that he intends to file a police complaint if the issues are not resolved promptly.
In response to the complaints, GHMC officials took immediate action to address the issues. The corporation cleared the accumulated garbage from the area and sprinkled bleaching powder to improve sanitation.
