The AIMIM legislature party leader has raised concerns about staffing challenges as Telangana proposes dividing the Hyderabad Municipal Corporation into three separate civic bodies.
LSN India ·
Asaduddin Owaisi's party colleague has challenged the state government's preparedness to implement its plan to trifurcate the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC), citing a critical shortage of trained personnel.
The AIMIM legislature party leader flagged concerns about where authorities would source adequate staff to operate three independent municipal corporations, questioning whether the government had adequately planned for the administrative restructuring.
The proposal to divide GHMC into three separate civic bodies forms part of the government's urban governance reorganization. However, the move has triggered scrutiny from opposition parties regarding its practical feasibility, particularly regarding human resource requirements and operational capacity.
The AIMIM, which holds significant influence in Hyderabad's municipal affairs, has signaled that any administrative reorganization must be accompanied by comprehensive staffing solutions and detailed implementation frameworks to ensure service delivery remains uninterrupted.
The state government has not yet released detailed transition plans or clarified how it intends to address the identified staffing gaps, leaving questions about the timeline and logistics of the proposed GHMC division unresolved.
