HYDERABAD: The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) was instructed to conduct a survey on encroachments that have come up all along the nalas and water bodies after a review meeting with State Ministers, GHMC office bearers and officials to tackle the monsoon.

The Minister for Animal Husbandry Talasani Srinivas Yadav along Home Minister Mahmood Ali, Hyderabad Mayor Gadwal Vijayalaxmi, Deputy Mayor Mote Srilatha Shobhan Reddy held a meeting with officials at the GHMC head office on Friday regarding the desilting of nalas in GHMC limits.
