KMC Commissioner directs officials to identify dumping spots, boost awareness on waste disposal

Kurnool Municipal Corporation (KMC) Commissioner Challa Obulesu has directed officials to identify roads, vacant plots, and other public spaces where garbage is being dumped and to create awareness among the residents to discourage indiscriminate dumping. The KMC Commissioner also instructed officials to ensure public cooperation with the door-to-door waste collection system.

Mr. Obulesu inspected the sanitation operations in Gibson Colony, Birla Gate, Krishna Nagar, and Chennamma Circle on Monday. Subsequently, at the Kalluru ward office, he examined the equipment recently procured for water supply and repair works.

During an inspection of the Anna Canteen at the government hospital, the sanitation supervisory staff brought to the Commissioner’s attention the challenges they faced regarding waste collection. Responding immediately, the Commissioner consulted with the sanitation staff and issued orders to ensure that waste was collected from the hospital twice daily.

He emphasised that waste collection must continue without interruption, even on public holidays.
