Hyderabad: In order to enhance its service offerings to citizens, the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) has decided to use geographic information system (GIS) and mapping tools to identify gaps in delivering high quality services.
Towards this end, the GHMC would form circle-wise teams, comprising deputy commissioners, assistant medical officer for health (AMOH) and sanitary supervisors.
The corporation would also seek suggestions from zonal and additional commissioners to improve the quality of services. About 120 civic body officials held a day-long workshop at the Administrative Staff College of India (ASCI) here on Saturday.
The corporation would pinpoint the locations of bulk garbage generators, open defecation areas, community and public toilets in order to regularly monitor them and minimise the discomfort to citizens.
The GHMC has also marked other parameters, including staff shortfall, door-to-door garbage collection, user charges, proportion of total solid waste generated vs transported daily, informal waste pickers (survey, ID, and deployment), sanitation in notified commercial areas, availability of litter bins at appropriate places in commercial areas, system for collection of construction & demolition waste in each circle.
GHMC Commissioner B Janardhan Reddy said that circle-wise maps had been provided to the deputy commissioners and other officials concerned.
The workshop’s main objective was to enable development of a decision support system for planning and operations at all locations in the 30 circles.
He said that the GIS and mapping were useful tools that could be used even after Swachh Survekshan campaign.
