Apartment associations urge the civic body to reconsider the decision
The Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation (GVMC) has come under strong criticism for asking the staff to collect charges for garbage collection in the city. It was learnt that most of the households were reluctant to pay the charge of ₹120 and have been demanding the corporation to withdraw the decision.
Volunteers from Ward Sachivalayams and sanitary workers in several wards have informed the households in their localities that garbage collection tax of about ₹120 should be paid to the corporation from the month of December. However, a number of households are not ready to pay the amount.
