Hyderabad: The residents of Dammaiguda municipality have expressed concern and appealed to the authorities to keep the children’s park in the area litter-free, via videos posted on social media platforms.
A video posted on X shows cigarette packets and ghutkha packets lying around on the premises of a children’s park in 17th Ward Dammaiguda Municipality, suburban Hyderabad, Medchal-Malkajgiri district.
According to the locals, littering not only defaces the public park but also poses a threat to children getting introduced to harmful tobacco products such as cigarettes and ghutkha, proven to cause diseases such as cancer.
