GHMC Mayor, team study best civic practices at Rajkot

Hyderabad: As part of an official study tour, Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) Mayor Gadwal Vijayalakshmi, along with Deputy Mayor Mothe Srilatha Shobhan Reddy and a team of GHMC corporators visited the Rajkot Municipal Corporation (RMC) in Gujarat’s Saurashtra region on Wednesday and Thursday.

During the visit, the GHMC delegation held detailed discussions with senior officials of the Rajkot Municipal Corporation, who made comprehensive presentations on the city’s governance model, administrative efficiency and key best practices being implemented at the field level. The presentations covered areas such as sanitation, solid waste management, civic services, e-governance initiatives, urban greenery, environmental protection and long-term development planning.

Subsequently, the corporators undertook extensive field visits across Rajkot city to study these practices first-hand. One of the notable observations was the absence of flex banners and flex-based hoardings, contributing to a clutter-free urban landscape. The delegation also noted the systematic installation of tree guards for all saplings and the provision of protective grills around all electrical transformers to enhance public safety.
