Calling the Jagan-led government negligent in waste management, he said they failed to act on garbage clearance contracts. The TD has brought transparency by calling fresh tenders, he claimed.

He said 6,500 tonnes of waste are generated daily across the state. In Nellore city alone, 3 lakh tonnes of garbage are piled up at Donthali dumping yard and another 30,000 tonnes at Allipuram.

The minister praised Sarvepalli MLA Chandramohan Reddy for continuing the work on the Allipuram yard clearance for two decades. He said Allipuram would be completely cleaned in two months and converted into a fully equipped public park, with a similar cleanup and recycling initiative launching across all municipalities.

Earlier in the day, Narayana inaugurated Thikkana Park, which was revamped at a cost of Rs 30 lakh in Ranganayakulapeta, Nellore. He said the government would modernize parks in all 123 municipalities with the installation of play and gym equipment.

Park modernization work is resuming with a focus on public health and children's recreation, he said.
