Solve Ameenpur dump issue, KTR tells officials

Hyderabad: Following residents of Ameenpur kicking up a furore over foul smell emanating from the dump yard, municipal administration minister KT Rama Rao has finally responded asking officials to look into the matter at the earliest.

KTR tweeted on Saturday asking MAUD secretary Arvind Kumar to “address the legacy dumping through a scientific solution at the earliest.”

Speaking to STOI, techie Raviteja Devarapalli said several promises to shift the dump yard had been made, but nothing has happened so far. “Nearly 1,000 families are affected because of the foul stench that comes from the dump yard. People have developed health and breathing issues,” he said. Raviteja said they deserved better air and water as they were paying taxes as law-abiding citizens.

Another resident Gaurav (@Gaurav51729419) tweeted, saying: “Help us out on this dumpyard issue. Looking for your help considering this dump yard is an issue related to health of people staying nearby in Ameenpur.” TNN
