Andhra Pradesh Government Abolishes Garbage Tax
The Andhra Pradesh government has abolished the garbage tax, which was introduced by the YSRCP to fund waste collection services. Households and commercial entities were charged varying amounts, but public backlash and enforcement measures like water cut-offs caused widespread criticism. The NDA, having promised tax removal during elections, officially repealed it via a Cabinet resolution on October 16, 2024. The state now seeks alternative funding models for waste management, highlighting the need for public consultation in policy decisions.
