The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) Council meeting is set to be held on the 29th of June. Due to the ongoing Wuhan virus pandemic, the GHMC authority decided to conduct the council meeting virtually.
With this, it would be the first virtual GHMC council meeting. The Mayor of the GHMC, G. Vijaya Laxmi said, “Respecting COVID-19 norms and the safety of 150 corporators, staff and media representatives, we have decided to conduct the General Body Meeting virtually for the first time ever.” Adding to it, Sindhu Adarsh Reddy, the GHMC Corporator from Bharati Nagar ward said, “Conducting a meeting online is a good initiative taken up by GHMC. Virtual meets will ensure the works do not slow down. Despite the pandemic, our TRS party corporators were on the ground assisting people and monitoring (the) civic works.”
In regard to the virtual meeting, the GHMC Information Technology (IT) wing is preparing for the meeting and is short listing the app through which the online meeting could be held. An IT wing official said, “We checked a series of apps, mostly the meeting would be held through the Webex app. A final decision is yet to be taken.” All the details of the online portal, credentials and others would be shared with the GHMC corporators, the ex-officio members, officials and all the members who are part of the council a day before or one hour before the meeting is scheduled to begin.
During the meeting, the members and officials would discuss several development issues and other issues of the GHMC limits.

The Indian National Congress (INC) candidate Darpalli Rajasekhar Reddy, who won the Lingojiguda division by election, would take the oath as a corporator during the meeting.
The meeting would also discuss the necessary land acquisitions, the maintenance of traffic signals at junctions, development of theme parks, construction of box drains, expansion of bus shelters, subways, roads, recruitment of staff for special sanitation management in tourism and commercial areas, extension of engineers’ tenure and others.
