TMA staff does not perform duties without some gratification due to which there are heaps of filth in the city. The potable water gets mixed with the sewage water and is supplied to the houses. In some of the areas, the sewage water is so much that the walking in the streets has become impossible. The residents are compelled to remain in their house due to this problem. The silence of the staff of the TMA is quite un-understandable.
The staff does not conduct cleanliness with the excuse of not having petrol whereas millions of rupees are being drawn every month on petrol account.
