Sanitation packages to be given to SHGs
A decision, in principle, has been taken to award sanitation packages to ward-level federations of self-help groups, Municipal Commissioner M.V. Satyanarayana has said.
To begin with, training will be given in Ward 2 for two packages. Legal advice was sought on whether to continue the packages given to the recognised union going by some GOs and council resolution, he told reporters on Monday. The practice has been going on for 10 years now.
Maha Vysakhi Mahila Samakhya is an umbrella organisation of women and a part of GVMC and has taken up water works on non-profit basis, according to the Municipal Commissioner.
The functioning was transparent and any doubts, including the number of workers, could be verified and probed, he said.
