Andhra Pradesh scraps garbage collection charges

Andhra Pradesh chief minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, on Wednesday, announced the scrapping of garbage collection charges in the state.

He made an announcement at the ‘Swacchata Hi Seva’ programme organised at Machilipatnam on the occasion of Gandhi



Jayanti.

The CM said the previous government of the YSR Congress Party had imposed a ‘garbage tax’ on people. Charges were being levied for garbage collection from households and heaps of garbage were left uncleared in front of those houses who were not paying it.
