AMID rising complaints about untidy vacant lands across the city, the Guntur Municipal Corporation (GMC) is intensifying efforts to address the issue.

These vacant plots, plagued by stagnant water and overgrown vegetation, have become a major nuisance for residents, while also posing health risks and attracting anti-social activities.

GMC has directed landowners to clean and maintain their properties, warning of fines for non-compliance. However, inadequate supervision and lax enforcement have hindered significant progress.
