Hyderabad now ODF++ city

Hyderabad has progressed to the next level in prevention of open defecation with the Swachh Bharat Mission declaring the capital as an Open Defecation Free Plus Plus city, the first metro city in the country to be certified so.

The declaration came after Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) ensured that there was no open urination, besides initiating scientific treatment of faecal sludge through Sewage Treatment Plants (STP), among other measures. The Swachh Bharat Mission’s ODF ++ certification signifies the sanitation, cleanliness and provision



of basic amenities in a city.
