visakhapatnam: Negligence during garbage removal operations in Visakhapatnam has become a major concern for residents. Incidents of waste falling from transport vehicles have led to increased accidents. The waste management process, which involves transferring garbage from municipal solid waste facilities (MSFs) to the dumping yard at Kapuluppada, is frequently mishandled by personnel.
The main issue is the lack of proper measures to secure waste during transportation. Many lorries operate without appropriate coverings, allowing garbage to scatter on roadways and pose risks to other motorists. Local resident P. Chalam has called for immediate action from authorities, urging stricter enforcement of regulations that mandate the proper covering of garbage trucks.
Residents are demanding that municipal authorities closely monitor the waste removal process and implement stricter safety protocols. Until reforms are enacted, the danger of debris during garbage transportation will persist, jeopardizing public safety. The community is urging local authorities for prompt intervention to ensure safe streets in Visakhapatnam.
