MMC Deploys 24/7 Staff, Intensifies Drainage Inspections and Illegal Dumping Crackdown for Monsoon

The Malkajgiri Municipal Corporation (MMC) is fully prepared for the monsoon season, with round-the-clock staff deployment, emergency response teams on standby and intensified field inspections aimed at preventing waterlogging, ensuring sanitation and maintaining uninterrupted civic services. 

MMC Commissioner Vinay Krishna Reddy conducted inspections across Old Bowenpally, Kanajiguda, Dwarakanagar Colony, Temple Alwal Road and Macha Bollaram Road to review drainage infrastructure, sanitation operations and flood preparedness. The inspections focused on identifying potential problem areas and ensuring preventive measures are in place before heavy rainfall.

At Old Bowenpally, the Commissioner inspected waterlogging-prone areas, floodwater channels, open nalas, drainage connections and rainwater flow routes. Officials were instructed to undertake regular desilting of nalas and stormwater drains to ensure the smooth flow of rainwater and prevent flooding. He also directed all departments to coordinate efforts to avoid water stagnation on roads and within residential colonies. 

In Kanajiguda, the Commissioner reviewed the door-to-door waste collection system and instructed officials to ensure garbage is collected from every household. He also directed that substitute sanitation workers or SAT auto drivers be deployed immediately whenever regular personnel are absent to prevent disruption of services.

During the inspection at Dwarakanagar Colony, a vacant roadside plot was found to be used for illegal garbage dumping. Vinay Krishna Reddy ordered immediate clearance of the waste, directed officials to impose penalties on those responsible and called for stricter enforcement to curb illegal dumping.

At Temple Alwal Road, the Commissioner identified unused cable wires hanging from electricity poles, describing them as a public safety risk. He directed the concerned agencies to remove the cables immediately.

The inspection at Macha Bollaram Road identified encroachments obstructing the natural flow of rainwater. Officials were instructed to remove the encroachments in coordination with the concerned departments and ensure rainwater flows freely through the nala and stormwater drainage network.

Vinay Krishna Reddy also reviewed the preparedness of MET teams and HYDRA DRF teams, directing them to remain available in the field throughout the monsoon season and respond promptly to emergencies.He stressed the need for coordinated action by all departments to maintain public safety, sanitation and efficient stormwater management during the rainy season.
