Enroachments & garbage dumping choke locality: KT Nagar residents' pleas fall on NMC's dead ears Residents of KT Nagar in Nagpur have expressed frustration over the Nagpur Municipal Corporation’s (NMC) failure to address persistent encroachments and improper waste disposal in the area. Despite multiple complaints and inspections, the civic body has not taken decisive action to curb violations that have worsened living conditions. The issue has become a focal point of concern for locals, who accuse officials of neglecting their responsibilities. The problem centers on commercial establishments, including food outlets and garages, that have encroached upon public roads and open spaces within two housing societies. Residents allege that these businesses routinely dump garbage near residential areas, creating unhygienic conditions and posing health risks. One resident highlighted the case of a pizza outlet that diverts food waste into a septic tank, causing frequent blockages and allowing drainage water to seep into their water meter chamber. “We have repeatedly complained about this outlet, but the issue remains unresolved,” the resident said, emphasizing the lack of follow-up from authorities. Residents claim that officials from the NMC’s Nuisance Detection Squad (NDS) have visited the site on at least three occasions. However, the violations continue unabated, and complainants have not been informed of the outcomes of these inspections. This lack of transparency has fueled skepticism about the effectiveness of the NMC’s interventions. Dharampeth Zone assistant commissioner Rajkumar Meshram recently visited the area with NDS officials and issued a notice to the concerned outlet, instructing it to clean the septic tank and remove accumulated garbage near the societies.#nagpur_municipal_corporation #nmc #rajkumar_meshram #kt_nagar #nuisance_detection_squad
