Dr. CVSK Sarma to get GHMC on the rails

Commissioner to hold meetings on administrative set-up

HYDERABAD: The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) might finally get going with Commissioner C.V.S.K.Sarma getting down to the task of finalising an administrative set-up and selection of officials for undertaking key tasks.

A proper shape could begin to see light of the day by the weekend where review meetings are scheduled to be held with Chief Secretary J. Harinarayana on Wednesday, following which Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy will hold a review on Saturday.

Having just returned from his trip to the United States, Dr. CVSK Sarma is believed to have held discussions with his senior staff at the head office as well as the erstwhile commissioners manning the 12 municipalities that have been aligned into the corporation in the last two days.

Five zones

The Government has proposed to divide GHMC into five zones of South, East, North, West and Central Zones, 18 circles and 150 wards. It is quite likely that the Additional Commissioners in the head office might become joint commissioners and zonal commissioners, in turn, will assist them.

Below the zonal commissioners will be the deputy municipal commissioners. The Commissioner is also expected to put his thoughts into delegation of powers since he has had second thoughts on the issue and kept an earlier order on the issue in abeyance.

In the meantime, the ordinance changing the post of Sanjay Jaju, from the Additional Commissioner post in GHMC to that of a Special Commissioner of GHMC was issued on Monday.
