In a unique attempt to bring change among residents, a GHMC supervisor in Hyderabad chose an unusual yet powerful approach to stop people from dumping garbage on roads. His method, inspired by Gandhigiri, is now gaining widespread attention.
The incident took place in the Ram Singh Pura area under Gudimalkapur limits, where garbage dumping on roads had become a regular issue. Despite the presence of garbage bins nearby and regular door to door waste collection by sanitation workers, some residents continued to throw waste irresponsibly on the streets.
Mahender, a GHMC supervisor, decided to address this issue in a different way. Early in the morning, even before the city fully woke up, he stood on the road and personally appealed to people not to litter. In an emotional gesture, he even touched the feet of those who came to dump garbage, requesting them to stop the practice.
Sanitation workers in Hyderabad work tirelessly from early dawn, cleaning streets and ensuring the city looks fresh by sunrise. Regardless of festivals or seasons, they remain committed to maintaining cleanliness. However, their efforts often go unnoticed as irresponsible behavior by a few individuals continues to create problems.
Mahender believed that strict rules and fines alone were not enough to change public behavior. Instead, he chose humility and emotional appeal as his tool. His actions reflect a deeper message that civic sense must come from within rather than fear of punishment.
A video of the incident has now gone viral on social media, drawing praise from netizens. Many people have appreciated the supervisor’s dedication and unique thinking, hoping that such efforts will finally bring a positive change in public habits.
Locals and viewers alike are now discussing whether this Gandhigiri approach can truly influence people to act responsibly and respect the efforts of sanitation workers.
