Srinivasulu also visited AT Agraharam, Shanti Nagar, GT Road, Sampat Nagar and other areas. He inspected the sanitation works in these areas.
Commissioner Srinivasulu also instructed the officials to take special action to ensure thorough door-to-door waste collection and impose hefty fines on those who litter in the public places.
