Commissioner inspects sanitary conditions in Kurnool, warns action against negligent staff

Kurnool Municipal Corporation (KMC) Commissioner Challa Obulesu directed the sanitation supervisory staff to ensure there is no negligence in sanitation management and to focus on achieving visible results on the ground.

During his inspection of sanitation conditions at various parts of the city on Tuesday (November 10, 2026), Mr. Obulesu expressed his displeasure over the unhygienic condition at Nehru Road in the Old City. He directed that the area along the Handri River near Jammichettu be kept clean.

When he noticed garbage left in a pushcart at Joharapuram, he reprimanded the concerned Sanitary Inspector and the Secretary. He also directed the sanitation staff to utilise the tractor stationed at the K.C. Canal to keep the canal’s surrounding area clean.

The Commissioner inspected the Anna Canteen located at the Collectorate.

Speaking on the occasion, the Commissioner directed that the attendance of sanitation workers be monitored continuously to ensure they are reporting for duty regularly. He instructed that measures be taken to prevent the accumulation of garbage on streets, main roads, and in public spaces. The Commissioner cautioned that strict action would be taken against staff members found to be negligent and if no visible improvement in sanitation standards in the city is observed.
