Apathy leading to GHMC’s bad shape

The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) is considered a very prestigious and crucial body in the Andhra Pradesh administration as this takes care of the Hyderabad city’s entire sanitation and other infrastructure related things. But then it is heard that the situation is not that encouraging inside.  According to few sources, a fund of Rs 5000 crores was sanctioned when Municipal Corporation of Hyderabad (MCH) was being transformed to GHMC. However, it is heard that till date the funds have not been released. Incidentally, Hyderabad contributes to crores of rupees to government fund.  This is as part of central, state and local taxes. The state government is being blamed for its inefficiency in providing the required financial support. Some of the key divisions like the sewerage lines, roads, electricity and other civic amenities are in a bad shape. It is about time the state government does something about it.
