Hyderabad: The Chief Minister is now free to decide on the proposal for creation of three corporations in Hyderabad. “If it is decided, the GHMC Act will have to be amended accordingly and it is likely that the government may take a final decision in September, during the Assembly Budget session,” a minister told DC on Friday.
GHMC was formed in April 2007 with the merger of 12 surrounding municipalities with a three-tier civic administration of one head office, five zonal offices and 18 circle offices. Some of the present circles have 5-10 lakh people under their purview. Even for small complaints, people have to go all the way to the circle office.
In the National Capital Territory of Delhi, there are separate municipal corporations like North Delhi Municipal Corporation, South Delhi Municipal Corporation, East Delhi Municipal Corporation besides New Delhi Municipal Council and Delhi Cantonment Board.
In Mumbai, there are Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation, Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation, Kalyan-Dombivali Municipal Corporation and Thane Municipal Corporation.
