GHMC Mayor defends Ramky's contract
Hyderabad, February 2 (INN): GHMC Mayor Mohammad Majid Hussain on Saturday clarified that the corporation's contract with Ramky for the garbage disposal was being honoured following the orders of Andhra Pradesh High Court.
Addressing a press conference here, the Mayor said that it was incorrect on the part of Greater Hyderabad Municipal Employees Union to threaten stir over the agreement with Ramky for garbage disposal.
He said that the union had challenged the Ramky's agreementin the High Court which directed the GHMC to maintain status quo. He said it was in view of the court orders that he visited Jawahar Nagar Dump yard to review works.
The Mayor said that if the employees did not lift the garbage, then it would cause inconvenience to 85 lakh people living in the GHMC limits. He offered to hold talks with the GHME union.
Speaking about Saturday's ordinary meeting of GHMC, Majid Hussain said that the meeting had to be adjourned following non-cooperation of members.
He informed that GHCM's special meeting would be held on February 6 to pass the corporation's budget. Later, the ordinary meeting will be held.
Majid Hussain also refuted allegations that he was not convening the GHMC meeting to prevent BJP corporator C Uday Kumar from taking oath. He said the addition of one corporator in the BJP's list would not affect anyone.
He said he proposed to hold the GHMC's meeting four times in the last seven months. The meeting was cancelled twice due to the COP-11 while once it was cancelled due to the special session of the Legislative Assembly on SC, ST Sub-Plan.
