The ghmc has still not removed the uprooted trees and broken branches days after rains battered the city. Inconveniencing citizens, including commuters, are several tree limbs and trunks that collapsed and that were hacked off by officials that are discovered dumped on the roadsides and not cleared throughout the city. They are causing backups in traffic. Numerous uprooted trees are still lying on the sides of the roadways, obstructing traffic and creating a nuisance. Green trash has become a garbage point in many places.

"GHMC employees arrived after the recent rains equipped with chainsaws and cut down the fallen trees. However, they have left the green trash on the sides of the roadways rather than having it removed, according to venkanna of srinagar Colony. Officials claim to have removed the majority of the trees, although a few limbs can still be seen along the sides of the highways. The remaining trees in Khairatabad are causing a lot of problems because the city already struggles with traffic bottlenecks. Similar situations may be found in a number of locations, such as Masab Tank, Vijaynagar Colony, Tolichowki, Alwal, Ameerpet, Secunderabad, Begumpet, Banjara Hills, Malakpet, Santosh nagar, and regions in the Old City, where green trash is frequently observed thrown on the sides of the road. The streets didn't seem to be cleared by any official.

Residents claimed that areas, where tree debris had been pushed, had turned into dumps for trash. They emphasized that while green garbage in inner roads and byways has not been removed, trees that were uprooted during rainstorms on main highways have been cleansed. Many people are disposing of their trash on top of the green waste, according to P Manohar, a colony resident in Ameerpet. It has been getting worse over the past two weeks and is now proving to be highly unsanitary. The ghmc has been requested to plow the roadways for us residents. It is on the colony's main route and is causing disruption for commuters.

"There is a tree trunk lying next to the road," Santosh nagar resident Akhlaq ahmed reported. A mass of tree branches and leaves obstructs the street in my lane. Garbage is being dumped with this green detritus on the streets. The threat from mosquitoes is also getting worse, he continued. Residents said, "The ghmc employees should have lifted and taken the trees away somewhere else once the trees were uprooted or chopped, instead of relocating trees to a corner. But they didn't do it that way; instead, they just made room for one road while blocking another, according to Mohammed ahmed of the Old City.

However, ghmc stated that over 455 teams are now working as a precaution. 399 monsoon emergency squads and 30 DRF teams were particularly constituted. Many problems are resolved by the DRF, monsoon, and emergency teams, including water stagnation, removal of uprooted trees, and sewage overflow. They appear to be merely lip service, though.
