KT Rama Rao- Give Real Data Not Fake Data To Get Swachh Survekshan Ranking

After a thumping win in the urban body polls, the TRS is gearing up to set an agenda for the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) polls slated soon.

Municipal administration and urban development (MA&UD) minister and working president of the TRS K.T. Rama Rao held a series of meetings with GHMC officials and asked them to provide him “real data, not information shared with the Centre to get a better ranking in Swachh Survekshan or to win other awards”.

In a recent review meeting, when a zonal commissioner gave him a fake report on number of public toilets in his zone, Rao immediately took him to task, asking the GHMC official “not to present fake data that could be useful to attain a better ranking in swachh surveys.” and fake at ground level.

As per close sources, Mr KT Rama Rao is keeping a close check on every civic issue, right from quality of roads, public toilets, bus bays, urban lung spaces, bus shelters, footpaths, model markets, modern graveyards that could hardly see any progress since 4 year after the conclusion of GHMC elections in 2016.

4 IAS officers were transferred from the city straightaway after the two review meetings and the government has appointed young, urban-based IAS officers, who had passed out from the National Institute of Technology-Warangal (NIT-W) and Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University Hyderabad (JNTUH) to ensure the progress of works.

Close sources in the TRS and the GHMC said that the state government had already finalized an agenda for the corporation polls.
