- GHMC officers advised on departmental roles and functions
- Orientation programme aims to enhance GHMC operational efficiency
Hyderabad, Jan 5 (Maxim News): Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) Commissioner R.V. Karnan has advised newly appointed Additional Commissioners and Zonal Commissioners to gain a comprehensive understanding of the functioning and responsibilities of all GHMC departments. This step is aimed at ensuring effective and coordinated civic administration across the city.
The guidance comes in the wake of GHMC’s recent reorganisation, which expanded the body from six zones to 12 and from 30 circles to 60. To support the new officers, an orientation programme titled “Overview of Wings and Core Functions” was organised at the GHMC Head Office in the presence of the Commissioner. The programme was designed to familiarise officers with the operational structure, roles, and performance parameters of various civic departments.
Officials from key departments, including Engineering and Infrastructure, Health and Sanitation, Revenue and Planning, Administration and Support, and Urban Services and Development, delivered detailed PowerPoint presentations. These sessions explained departmental responsibilities and performance measures. Queries raised by the officers were addressed by the respective departmental heads, ensuring clarity and understanding.
Speaking at the event, Commissioner Karnan said, “Structured presentations on departmental overviews and core functions would enable officers to discharge their duties with clarity and efficiency.” He added that a series of focused presentations would be conducted over the coming days, covering Projects on January 6, Sanitation on January 7, Town Planning on January 8, and Maintenance on January 9.

Karnan also instructed senior officials to prepare comprehensive, zone-wise presentations highlighting departmental performance and core functions. Officers were urged to utilise the orientation programmes fully to gain a holistic understanding of GHMC operations and to resolve operational issues effectively.
The meeting was attended by Additional Commissioners G. Srijana, Vinay Krishna Reddy, Hemanth Keshavapatil, Raghu Prasad, Pankaja, Manga Thayaru, Satyanarayana, and Zonal Commissioners G. Mukunda Reddy, Apoorv Chauhan, K.
