City mayor Majid Hussain on Thursday directed zonal commissioner (south) Ravi Kiran and additional commissioner (planning) Ronald Rose to immediately seal the plastic industries situated in the Hassan Nagar area, which are causing pollution, by taking police protection.

The Standing Committee, which met under the chairmanship of the mayor, unanimously resolved to set up a special team consisting of two assistant commissioners of police and four section officers to monitor road-widening work and removal of nala encroachments in the south zone.

It also resolved to constitute a graveyard development committee at the request of TDP floor leader Singireddy Srinivas Reddy for proper maintenance of graveyards and for providing incentives to the executive staff for higher collection of property tax arrears.

The committee members suggested fencing the Mallepally football ground in place of the 5-foot-high compound wall to put a check on unlawful activities like gambling and drugs there.

The meeting approved and accorded permission to sanction an additional budget of 400 per cent for capital works and 300 percent for revenue works.

The committee said that there was a need to increase the capacity of the three slaughterhouses located at Gowlipura, Ramnasthpura and Amberpet. The officials concerned were directed to submit  proposals within two weeks.
