Earlier, Mohd Naseeruddin raised the issue of the maintenance works of religious places before Ramzan and Bonalu festivals and the Mayor asked the corporators to conduct a survey and report at the earliest. While revoking the earlier resolution No 356 of 2013, the corporation approved the incentives to all the executive staff i.e, bill collectors, tax inspectors, valuation officer, deputy commissioner without insisting on the approval from the government. Further, it was decided that owners of all the structures demolished for road widening should be paid compensation within 15 days and the process of shifting of electric poles should be completed in a fortnight.
There are already two Land Acquisition units operating in GHMC which is unable to meet the requirements. Therefore the Corporation unanimously resolved to establish the 3rd unit for land acquisition.
