Hyderabad: Targeting Rs 150 crore revenue, the GHMC has launched a survey named ‘Operation 360 Degree’ to identify commercial establishments in residential plots, flats and apartments.

'Officials will identify commercial establishments by visiting these places and using commercial electricity meter records and commercial tax registers. The GHMC believes there are about 1.5 lakh such commercial establishments in city.
