damaged roads, footpaths, and other road infrastructure such as dividers and

Hello
Its good to see such initiative to be taken.
In order to be a part this mission , I, a resident of cyber village would like to draw the attention of the concerened authorites to the unavailabilty of commmunity dustbins in our area.I have recently moved to this area and was truly dissapointed to see a very improper waste mangement in this area.Though people residing in this locality are highly learned and qualified ,this is the situation.
I assume if the GHMC provides community dustbins this problem can be tackled .Consequently,people will not litter the roads and pathways.Awaiting the unleashing of this innitiative.
Thank You!
