The residents of Kolsawadi say that Greater Hyderabad Municipal Cooperation (GHMC) garbage collectors come only ones a month, because of which the place have become a breeding ground for mosquitoes.

“We are living here from many years,” said a member of the family who lives on the street, by the bins. “No one from the GHMC comes to clean,” he said.

“Nobody is taking our situation seriously and we are forced to live in a disgusting ambience. Though half the city has been affected by seasonal diseases, authorities are not in a mood to address our woes,” they further added.

The family also said that they have constantly been urging the government to provide them with a home but no one helps.
