GHMC fails to utilise funds, execute 133 works: Lok satta
The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) has failed complete to 133 projects out of total 167 sanctioned. It is able to spend just Rs 119 crore out of total Rs 476 crore granted by the government during 2006-2014 according to the RTI report.
Hyderabad: The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) has failed complete to 133 projects out of total 167 sanctioned. It is able to spend just Rs 119 crore out of total Rs 476 crore granted by the government during 2006-2014 according to the RTI report.
The Lok Satta party, city wing general secretary Bontu Sambi Reddy said, though 167 projects were approved since 2008, the GHMC could complete only 32 projects, utilising only Rs 119 crore as against a total grant of Rs 476 crore.
It is ironical that when paucity of funds is cited as one of the biggest hurdles for the development, it is indeed shocking that the administration could not utilize even one-third of the available funds and this has shown their utter lack of concern for the welfare of the people, he added.
Explaining the failures of the officials, Sambi Reddy said the state government had sanctioned the footpath project in Laad Bazaar in the year 2006 but till date the project did not take off. The Corporation has yet to launch nala works sanctioned in Shivaji Nagar and Asmabad in 2006, he added.
Sambi Reddy further stated that the swimming pool project in Kukatpally and Hindi Nagar sports complex works, which began way back in 2008, were suspended midway and not even half of the work was completed till now. "This shows the total lack of commitment and the lackadaisical attitude on the part of the government," he pointed out.
With a view to reducing traffic bottlenecks, the government announced 40 road widening works and eight projects for development of junctions, the Lok Satta party leader said. The Lok Satta party demanded that the Ministers exert pressures on the officials to complete the works as scheduled.
