GHMC panel’s road ‘rage’

The GHMC Standing Committee members on Thursday
expressed their dissatisfaction over road maintenance works in the city
and non-implementation of various resolutions by the engineering staff.
At a review meeting attended by Mayor Mohammed Majid Hussain and
Commissioner M.T. Krishna Babu, the members took objection to the
functioning style of engineers and said the resolutions of the committee
and general body were not being implemented.
The
Commissioner asked the Engineer-in-Chief to look into the matter and
said that though specific instructions were given to the superintendent
engineers for a regular review every month, the same was not being
followed. There was need to issue memos to the engineers to inculcate
discipline, he said.
Mr. Krishna Babu added that a
stretch wise study of lapses would be taken up by appointing a
consultant for laying permanent roads.
The Mayor on
Thursday inspected the government schools at Hasham Compound and Idgah
apart from the community hall at Bada Bazar. The Mayor sought the
intervention of the Collector in addressing the objections raised by the
Defence authorities at Hasham Compound School and at the Idgah School.
