Revanth also advised officials to create awareness about the effective use of green tankers, which supply treated water from sewage treatment plants (STPs), for construction activities, park maintenance, landscaping and gardening across the city. The CM held a review meeting with municipal officials at his Jubilee Hills residence and discussed various issues. During the meeting, the CM instructed the authorities to ensure that garbage was not seen on the roads in the city and emphasised the need for continuous monitoring of waste collection. The officials briefed him on the enforcement of door-to-door waste collection every day and the action being taken against those found negligent. Revanth called for special arrangements to be made for the removal of construction debris and suggested coordinating with the industries department to ensure waste collection within those zones. Stating that drinking water was currently being used for construction, maintenance of greenery and the development of parks, the CM instructed the officials to stop the supply of drinking water for non-potable needs and use only treated water from STPs instead. The CM underscored the need to conserve drinking water in the difficult times. Reviewing the increasing traffic challenges, the CM also directed the officials to take necessary measures to address traffic congestion and transform the city into a traffic-free urban space. Revanth emphasised the need for effective traffic regulation and instructed officials to prepare plans for the construction of underpasses and elevated corridors to establish a signal-free system. He stressed that the traffic flow should remain uninterrupted, ensuring that vehicles do not get held up at signals for a long time. Download the TOI App.
