Hyderabad: The Telangana government will shift the Nizampet dumping yard within 30 days to address health concerns affecting local residents and students, Social Welfare Minister Adluri Laxman Kumar announced.
The Minister made the announcement after inspecting the dumping yard near the newly constructed Telangana Social Welfare Residential Educational Institutions Degree College campus in Bachupally along with district collector M. Manu Choudary.
He said the Nizampet dumping yard had become a major concern for thousands of double-bedroom housing beneficiaries, nearby residents and students who would soon study in the area.
According to the Minister, officials directly assessed the problems caused by the dumping yard. He said the situation had become so severe that people could not remain in the area for long periods.
Nizampet dumping yard poses health and safety concerns
Adluri said public health and student welfare made the relocation of the Nizampet dumping yard an urgent priority.
He announced that the government was constructing a modern hostel for Scheduled Caste students at a cost of ₹20 crore in the same area. Therefore, creating a clean and safe environment before students move into the facility was essential.
The Minister said residents had shared several concerns during the inspection. He described a previous incident involving a dog attack on a child as deeply distressing.
Moreover, he said local people had raised concerns that the surroundings of the dumping yard were becoming a hub for anti-social activities. The government was taking those complaints seriously, he added.
Nizampet dumping yard relocation to get coordinated action
Adluri said he would speak with the Deputy Commissioner of Police and recommend a dedicated patrol vehicle for the locality. In addition, he said police would take strict action against anti-social elements operating in the area.
The Minister assured residents that the government would stand by them and address future concerns affecting the locality.
He noted that authorities had received several complaints regarding the Nizampet dumping yard in the past. However, the process of establishing special corporations had delayed action on the issue.
Now, all departments are coordinating efforts to ensure a permanent solution within a month, he said.
“Gurukul students’ welfare, public health and clean surroundings are the government’s priorities,” Adluri said.
District Collector M. Manu Choudary said the Social Welfare Residential Educational Institution building had already been completed. However, the presence of the dumping yard continued to create problems for students and residents.
He added that officials had identified an alternative site and would coordinate with corporation authorities to relocate the dumping yard at the earliest.
