GHMC struggling for funds

Deccan Chronicle  

HYDERABAD: The GHMC is not having a pleasant year-ending. After contractors stuck work on infrastructure works due to the delay in payments, the newspaper agency has threatened to the stop supplying newspapers as the corporation has not cleared bills for eight months, amounting to Rs 5 lakh. Sources said that when junior officials took the issue of newspaper bills to their senior officials, they were told to fight for the December salary instead of worrying about clearing the bills of contractors and other agencies. A senior GHMC official told Deccan Chronicle that the corporation has to struggle and put together money to pay the staff and pensioners, and clearing pending bills was not on their radar. In September, the GHMC Contractors Association halted all engineering work, demanding the corporation clear their bills worth around Rs 800 crore which were pending since March.
