Hey Agra folks (especially Kamla Nagar residents),
I'm renting a room in a house here in Kamla Nagar (I think it's rich area colony). I live alone, so my trash bag fills up just once a week. The problem:
Govt garbage truck (Nagar Nigam) drives right by my street but NEVER stops or honks the horn. They quietly pass even when I wave them down. When I asked why, the driver said, "Private guy handles this street only."
Instead, a private trash collector shows up, demands 100 Rs per month (way too much for 1 bag/week!). Official rates seem around 50 Rs or less for homes now.
Feels like a total scam - govt truck skips on purpose so we pay the private guy double? Similar issues elsewhere?
What should I do?
Ignore private guy and dump at nearby bin/MRF myself?
Complain to Nagar Nigam helpline/app? (Which number/app works best?)
Call cops if they pressure me?
Any local fixes or experiences?
Tried talking to them but no luck. Don't want to pay a single rupee to these guys!
Thanks for advice! 🙏
I am from Kaveri kunj - kamla nagar
