Secunderabad: TRS and seven ward members support merger proposal

SECUNDERABAD: The ruling TRS party is supporting the merger of the civilian areas of the Secunderabad Cantonment with the GHMC.
Cantonment TRS MLA, G Sayanna said that he will soon meet B Ajith Reddy, chief executive officer (CEO) of the Secunderabad Cantonment Board (SCB). “I will ask the CEO to send a report in favour of merging the civilian areas with GHMC,” Sayanna said. Recollecting earlier initiatives, the MLA said that in 1998 when N Chandrababu Naidu was the CM a similar proposal was discussed.“The TRS government has already promised to support the merger of civilian areas with the GHMC during last assembly elections. I will fight for this cause,” the MLA said.

Seven of eight elected members of SCB are supporting the merger. “It’s good that the MLA is supporting the merger. If needed, we will pass a resolution,” said a ward member.
