Hyderabad: Now, no more door-to-door collection of your garbage!

Hyderabad: Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation Commissioner Amrapali Kata directed officials to arrange dustbins at a single location in apartment complexes instead of the door-to-door method to facilitate easier garbage collection.
