The GHMC has completed about 60 percent of road repair works after
the roads got damaged due to heavy rains for the last two weeks, GHMC
Commissioner MT Krishna Babu has said.

Addressing the media after
Prajavani programme, he said the GHMC is taking up drainage improvement
works at 153 stagnation points identified. As per standard practice,
storm water drains should be constructed before laying any road, but it
is not happening, he said. The GHMC is ready to take up comprehensive
road improvement works with its own funds if the HMWS&SB officials
submit their proposals in this regard.

The GHMC has constructed
56,000 houses under JNNURM housing scheme, the commissioner said. The
GHMC is constructing two types of housing colonies–in situ, wherever a
colony is already existing, and on vacant lands identified by the
district collector concerned.

The corporation is facing financial
problems because of non- payment of 30 percent of beneficiary
contribution after constructing the houses with GHMC funds, he said. The
GHMC will be sorting out this issue with the collectors, he added.
