Majid Hussain said that during his 35-month tenure, the GHMC has grown from strength to strength. “Our achievements during this period are many as I strove to transform the GHMC into a truly metropolitan civic body with focus on the development of its civic infrastructure and welfare of its residents,” he said. “We have also stuck to our promise of augmenting the GHMC’s revenues without adding to the tax burden of the residents. Further, we have taken a decision in the Standing Committee to waive off property tax on the individual residential houses up to Rs 4,000 per annum to benefit the lower and middle class households residing in GHMC and the matter is under the consideration of the Telangana Government,” Majid Hussain said adding that Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao would take a favourable decision in this regard.
