GHMC Acts Strictly on Staff Assaults
“Attacks on GHMC officials and staff will not be tolerated,” he said. In the Banjara Hills incident, a person who constructed an unauthorised boundary wall on a public road allegedly assaulted town planning staff and even brandished a sickle.
Hyderabad: The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) has decided to act swiftly against those who assault its staff during the course of their duties. Following an attack on GHMC personnel at MLA Colony, Road Number 12, Banjara Hills, GHMC commissioner R.V. Karnan directed officials to ensure strict follow-up in the case and bring the guilty to justice. He also urged staff to report any incidents of intimidation without hesitation.
“Attacks on GHMC officials and staff will not be tolerated,” he said. In the Banjara Hills incident, a person who constructed an unauthorised boundary wall on a public road allegedly assaulted town planning staff and even brandished a sickle.
In a related move, zonal commissioners have been asked to conduct weekly reviews of contempt cases at the zonal level to ensure their swift resolution. Deputy commissioners will now focus on expediting court cases related to the town planning wing, reviewing pending High Court orders and ensuring compliance within stipulated timelines. “Counter affidavits will be filed on time, and case numbers will be uploaded to the legal case module,” a GHMC official said.
