On a 1.5 km stretch linking Khajaguda road to Oakridge International school, behind Maulana Azad National Urdu University, the garbage contractor, Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation and the Forest Department staff dump garbage behind the bushes. Sweepers too dump garbage, including cuttings of bushes. Last year, instead of carrying away such garbage, after some time it was burnt, due to which many fully grown trees were also burnt. The authorities ‘not concerned’ may burn it again, torching fully grown trees in the process. Instead of taking action, that is, black-listing the errant contractor and punishing the officials involved; sadly, the dumping of garbage continues, apparently with no accountability.
