After Santosh Nagar corporator's death, 5 GHMC wards now vacant
Hyderabad: With the death of Santosh Nagar corporator Mohammed Muzaffar Hussain late on Wednesday due to cardiac arrest, five out of 150 divisions in Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) have now fallen vacant, most of them since 2023. The four other divisions are Gudimalkapur, Erragadda, Mehdipatnam, and Ramnaspura. While the corporators from Gudimalkapur and Erragadda died due to health complications, the elected representatives from Mehdipatnam and Shastripuram divisions became MLAs, representing Nampally and Bahadurpura constituencies, respectively, during the 2023 general assembly elections. Gudimalkapur division was functioning without a corporator for two-and-a-half years following the death of Devara Karunakar, the previous corporator, in January 2023. A similar situation occurred with Erragadda division as its corporator Shaheen Begum passed away following a long-term illness. According to corporators, the absence of ward-level leadership leads to operational challenges in addressing basic civic issues, including mosquito menace, sanitation, sewage issues, and streetlights. Local representatives play a vital role in bringing various concerns to the GHMC commissioner and mayor during council sessions, ensuring these matters receive attention and discussion. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo "Due to lack of representation in our division, community concerns continue to accumulate. During the past two years, approval was granted for merely 50 streetlights, while numerous existing ones remain non-functional. Despite multiple representations to the executive engineer and assistant engineer, the issues remain unaddressed. Gudimalkapur also faces waste management challenges, with eight spots particularly affected by the accumulation of garbage. The area also suffers from inadequate road infrastructure, with no new roads being developed in the neighbourhood," said Devara Vamshi, a resident of Gudimalkapur. According to the GHMC Act (1955) Act, elections have to be held within four months in case a member resigns or dies. As per the Act, every vacancy in the office of an elected member of a municipal corporation shall be reported by the commissioner to the state election commission within 15 days from the date of occurrence of such vacancy and shall be filled within four months from that date. However, this provision has not been adhered to, leaving the affected divisions without proper representation for an extended period. Just hours before his death, Santosh Nagar corporator Muzaffar Hussain participated in the 11th ordinary GHMC council meeting on Wednesday. He later experienced illness and sought medical attention at a hospital where he died due to cardiac arrest. AIMIM party floor leader Akabaruddin Owaisi, accompanied by other party MLAs and corporators, visited the family to offer their condolences. Mayor Gadwal Vijayalaxmi also expressed her condolences to the deceased's family members.
