Swachh Hyderabad Program taken up by the Telangana government had shown no positive results on ground in improving the cleanliness of the city, but it burnt a hole in the city’s civic body’s pocket. Chief Minister, Governor, Ministers and MLAs have participated in this program in May and did so much of hungama.

GHMC had to spend a whopping 8 Crore on the arrangements itself to please the government bosses. A convention hall was booked for 3 days and it costed 1.8 Crore for GHMC. Vehicles arranged for the program incurred a bill of 5.8 Crore while the dais used by the Chief Minister was beautified with 50 Lakh.
Having done so much, among the 476 Class 1 cities nationwide in Swachh Bharat initiative, with a population of one lakh and above, Secunderabad was ranked at 191 and Hyderabad, 275 – a matter of big shame to the state government and as well as the GHMC.
