We welcome HDMC's work of cleaning up of Street GUTTERS & filling up the concrete at road ends.
But After cleaning-up the street gutters, outcome salvage NOT removing from the streets.
In many areas even the stones/slabs were removed over the gutters & public facing problems while coming out from their houses or chawls.
Here is an current(04-01-2012) example from the Area Deshpande Nagar which treated as a heart of the city & located just half kilometer aerial distance from HDMC.
Here HMDC appointed labours were removed the garbage from Gutters & removed the bridge stones/slabs & left them on the street from more than a week.
Labours were also damaged the water pipeline & become responsible to waste the precious water inside the Gutter.
Residents were also complained that, HDMC Labours were asked for the money(bribe) to putback those bridge stones/slabs across the gutter after cleaning the gutter.
Residents facing lots of problems & area corporator just escaping from his/her duties.

Many 2Wheelers & a Car strucked inside, somehow 2wheelers we manage to bring back on road by making temporary arrangements but 4wheeler we cant. Infact we also asked the labours(who came to clean the gutters) to close the stones/slabs after cleaning, but they demanded Rs.500/- to put back those stones as in previous state.

Dozens of children were used to play here, WHO IS RESPONSIBLE IF SOME CHILD FALL INTO THE GUTTER(3+ feet depth)?? Old aged persons FEAR to cross the gutter!
Whole road messed up with GARBAGE & NO space to park their vehicles for residents. Sweeping of street roads happens only 3-4 times in a month. (Click the image to download High-Resolution Photo)

| We also managed to call our area's municipal corporater on 05th Jan 2012 @ 02:15PM on mobile no.9448xxx051 & got very IRRESPONSIVE ANSWER saying that "We're NOT equipped with labours to serve you, wait for another 4-5 days so that HDMC appointed labours may come to clean that. If you want cleaning work has to be done quickly, then you only make arrangements to clean the grabage & putting back those stones across the gutter." And lastly he said BEST OF LUCK. :( |
| After getting non-cooperative answer we came to know that "OUR CORPORATOR" has avoiding us & NOT ready to listen to our problems(we don't know why we elected this person). |
| Lastly we wrote to HDMC Commissioner & several Media people by hoping quick action to clean the STREET GARBAGE which is laying on gutter side of the street from past 8-10 DAYS. |
