RTC has hiked the price of a 24-hour T24 ticket on Greater Hyderabad City buses which is available for Rs 100 until now. Authorities issued orders raising it to Rs 120. Officials said the inflated price had come into effect from Friday. The T-24 ticket will allow passengers to travel anywhere in a city in a single day for just 100 Rupees until now.&nbsp;&nbsp;This is not applicable to AC buses. In many cases in the past, the ticket was given a 20 percent discount and the popularity of the passengers did not go down even after the discount was canceled. So, RTC believes that this hike will not hinder the popularity of the ticket with the passengers.The authorities say that the prices of tickets and passes have also gone up recently, leading to an increase in T-24 ticket charges. But then, this development has come immediately after Central Government had cut down the excise duty on Diesel which should have naturally brought down the prices. But here, TSRTC actually increased the prices.

No matter how much awareness is created about the plastic monster, no matter how many measures are taken, the use of plastic in the city has not decreased. Greater Hyderabad generates about 4,500 tons of garbage per day, out of which 15 to 20 percent is plastic waste. Vegetables, chicken, mutton, groceries, milk packets, and anything like this are available in plastic bags only.Prohibited plastic covers are found everywhere in merchants. Covers with a thickness of less than 75 microns are mostly used. While the Central Pollution Control Board is increasing the thickness of the microns each year to the detriment of the environment, the use of banned plastics will not decrease. Previously 40 microns, then up to 50 microns were banned. Covers below 75 microns are currently banned. While the use of plastic does not stop, they are dumped everywhere, and also, and the roads and the canals are filled with covers. As a result, it becomes dangerous to public health and the environment.The GHMC council has previously ruled that single-use plastics should be banned in Greater. Authorities carried out a series of inspections a few months ago. Fines were imposed for single-use plastic. But there are no checks later.&nbsp; The council is not looking to implement the resolution. We can see single-use plastic almost in every function.&nbsp;GHMC authorities can impose fines of up to Rs 10,000 for the first time and up to Rs 25,000 for the second time for the use of plastic covers less than 75 microns in thickness. It has the power to seize stock in the shop along with the fine if used for a third time. Complaints can also be made by calling the GHMC Helpline on 040-21111111 if you find it being used anywhere.

Salary cuts are tormenting the GHMC sanitation workers big time. They are working hard for one month but are still failing to receive their full salary due to minor mistakes. Workers say the main reason for this is the biometric attendance system. This situation is due to the negligent attitude of the authorities.There are seven zones under the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation, of which there are thirty circles. It has about 8,000 workers. Of whom, three thousand have received cuts in their salaries. In some circles, some workers have lost almost 70 percent of their salaries. Workers whose salary is around 14,000 Per month had cuts ranging from 1,500 to 8,000 Rupees. GHMC sanitation workers are protesting against the system.It is said that the main reason for the non-receipt of these salaries is the biometric system. The contracting agency was supposed to correct the technical defects in the biometric machines but it continued with the old machines that were not working. Biometrics was taken on non-functioning machines and salary cuts were made even if there was a difference in time.Sanitation workers' normal working hours are from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. The timings were changed from 5 a.m. to 1 p.m. due to high temperatures prevailing. The biometric attendance should be marked between 5 a.m. and 6 a.m. But the machines are not accepting attendance after 5.30 a.m. As a result, many are marked as absent. Sanitation workers also seem to be absent due to improper use of biometric machines. Most of the workers are uneducated and there are no efforts to educate them about using these machines.
