Hyderabad: After the introduction of a ward system across the city to provide better governance to the people, Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) will now conduct training programmes to train its officers.
Telangana IT minister KT Rama Rao, who recently reviewed the administration of the ward system in the GHMC limits, had directed officials to set up the new system by the end of May and prepare teams to be assigned to ward offices and train them in the system’s objectives and functions to make them uniform and citizen-friendly.
