The emergence of a decentralised GHMC and ward offices coming up

GHMC is to be decentralised, and ward offices coming up

Telangana government plans to introduce a ward administration system for people to approach their ward offices instead of the circle or zonal offices for their work, lodge complaints or give suggestions to the government. 

Telangana IT minister KT Rama Rao said in a review meeting that the decentralised system would take administration closer to people. 

The government plans to set up ward offices in all 150 wards of GHMC and assign about ten officers to each of these offices. An official of the assistant municipal commissioner rank will be in charge of the ward's governance system.  

Officials from Wings for sanitation, power supply, road maintenance, entomology, veterinary services, town planning and water will also work with the official. 

The minister directed officials to set up the new system and prepare the teams to be assigned. 

KTR further proposed using technology and social media to ensure better communication between all these ward offices.
