GHMC Poll Promise; Free Water From Jan First Week

The ruling TRS party got a mixed result in the GHMC elections even though it emerged as the single largest party. But to woo the voters, Telangana CM KCR has announced many sops for the voters which includes free water (up to 20K litres) for each house hold.

Keeping this promise, the government wants to implement this from January first week. Municipal administration minister KTR held a review meeting with officials on Saturday and in this very meeting it was decided to provide free drinking water from the first week of January.

This will benefit nearly 90 percent of the people. Apart from this KCR also announced free power supply to salons, laundries and dhobi ghats not only in Hyderabad, but also across the state and waiver of Motor Vehicle Tax amounting to Rs. 267 crore for the two quarters of the current.

These promises are yet to be fulfilled. There is also a comprehensive sewerage master plan for Hyderabad at a cost of Rs13,000 crore to prevent inundation of colonies during heavy rains.

Overall a lot of promises are needed to be taken into account.
