On the second day of its special monsoon drive on Wednesday, GHMC teams repaired 105 potholes across Hyderabad. They also cleared 126.6 metric tonnes of legacy municipal solid waste and 46.6 MT of construction debris. The civic body cleaned 65 catch pits, two culverts, and removed 11.9 MT of silt from nalas.
GHMC installed 107 commercial bins at shops and built one rainwater harvesting structure. Officials visited 18 schools, educating 700 students about Bulk Waste Generator rules under updated solid waste regulations. The teams pruned 47.5 MT of tree branches and lifted 10.45 MT of dry and green waste from 34 parks. The monsoon drive will continue until August 21.
GHMC’s numbers suggest action, but Hyderabadis know potholes often reappear after the next downpour. The real test is whether these 105 repairs hold through August. The waste figures are large, but are the new bins being emptied regularly? Citizens should track the 107 commercial bins installed. Without follow-up from both the civic body and residents, a single monsoon drive risks becoming just optics.
