The completed projects include cement roads, drains, parks, and other public amenities and infrastructure. These developmental projects, spearheaded by Nellore Rural MLA Kotamreddy Sridhar Reddy, have transformed the region's civic landscape.

17 outsourced employees axed in GHMC over issue of fake birth and death certificates
The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) has terminated the services of a total 17 employees appointed through outsourcing, reportedly holding them responsible for issue of fake birth and death certificates. Previous GHMC Commissioner and the present secretary, Municipal Administration, K. Ilambarithi, issued the orders for termination on March 29, which the chief medical officer, Health, implemented on June 3, duly communicating the same to the two outsourcing agencies concerned. As per the orders, nine computer operators from Kapra, Uppal, Hayatnagar, LB Nagar, Goshamahal, Khairatabad, Ramachandrapuram, & Patancheru, Qutbullahpur, and Gajularamaram Circles, and eight health assistants from Malakpet, Santhoshnagar, Charminar, Falaknuma, Rajendranagar, Goshamahal, Ramachandrapuram & Patancheru, and Qutbullahpur Circles have been removed from the services. Further, two birth and death registrars have been repatriated, and two more are in the pipeline, Additional Commissioner, Health, S. Pankaja informed at Wednesday's Council meeting, responding to members' questions as to why officials have been spared while outsourcing staff were punished. The computer operators have been approving the applications using the passkey of the birth & death registrars, and to stop this practice, OTP generation has been introduced to the mobiles of the registrars, officials informed under the condition of anonymity. Even after this, irregularities have not stopped, and recently it has been revealed that four home births were approved against the norms. Corporator Thokala Srinivas Reddy alleged that the employees removed in one circle are joining another circle to continue their illegal operations, which came to fore when the respective recipients of birth certificates applied for passports. Ms. Pankaja said in order to prevent irregularities, efforts are being made to move to the Civil Registration System of the central government.
