MHO BV Ramana said they installed separate dustbins for wet and dry garbage waste so that the people could dump the relevant waste in the bins after segregating dry and wet waste and thus cooperate with the Municipal employees. He asked the people to make good use of dustbins.

MLA Siva Kumar said people must cooperate with the municipal employees to keep the town clean and green. He said he was concentrating on beautification of the town by planting saplings and the people must support the programme. He said that the people of Tenali had three canals, which were flowing through the centre of the town, therefore people of the town must make good use of the water facility and turn the town into a green city.

He said if the people kept the garbage in the dustbins then the municipality would achieve first place in Swachh Survekshan in the coming year. He recalled that the Tenali was generally called the Paris of Andhra Pradesh.
