Hyderabad: How does Hyderabad justify the title of ‘Best self-sustaining city’ and the Swachh Survekshan award that it has been conferred with, when one can find heaps of garbage dumped on the roadside in almost every locality? Residents point an accusing finger at the apathy of Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation officials, who in their quest to make Hyderabad a bin-free city, are ignoring piles of trash being thrown in every corner of the road.

G. Shanti, who collects trash along with her husband near Sikh Village, said that they collect trash at their own sweet time, either before 5 am or even after 12 pm.
