Government Plans to Divide GHMC into Four Corporations Amid Growing Population

Hyderabad: The government is considering splitting the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) into four corporations due to the city’s growing population, which has reached nearly 1.5 crore. This proposal was announced by Minister Komatireddy Venkat Reddy at the Urban Infrastructure Summit – 2024, suggesting there would be four mayors after the upcoming elections. The GHMC was initially formed in 2007 by merging 12 municipalities and later divided into six zones.

Additionally, the minister criticized the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) for opposing the Musi Riverfront Development project, which aims to address pollution caused by untreated waste from pharma companies.
