Focus on revenue, Andhra ULBs told

VIJAYAWADA: The Municipal Administration and Urban Development (MA&UD) Department has launched an intensive campaign to enforce financial discipline and strengthen revenue sustainability across Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) in the State. Principal Secretary Suresh Kumar held a state-level video conference with all Municipal Commissioners, urging greater accountability in financial operations. ULBs were directed to improve collections of property tax and vacant land tax, and to explore Public-Private Partnership (PPP) models to reduce dependence on state funds. Commissioner and Director of Municipal Administration, P Sampath Kumar, presented a financial health report for 2024–25, helping ULBs assess budget performance and prioritise essential services. Solid waste management, door-to-door garbage collection, and scientific waste disposal were identified as key focus areas to enhance urban livability. The review flagged substantial tax arrears, including Rs 1,680 crore from Central government entities, Rs 962 crore from State departments, Rs 1,860 crore in vacant land tax, and Rs 978 crore entangled in court cases. Major defaulters include Rashtriya Ispat Nigam Ltd (Rs 1,362 crore) and AP Transco (Rs 2.56 crore). Commissioners were instructed to serve notices within a week, publicise defaulter lists and initiate recovery processes. The department reaffirmed CM -monitored targets, including 100% household tap connections by 2029 and achieving plastic-free status in 17 ULBs by October 2025. ULB performance is being tracked via a real-time digital dashboard, with top-performing bodies to be recognised quarterly.

‘Make own facility': Faridabad told to halt Bandhwari waste disposal

Gurgaon: MCG will not accept waste transported by Faridabad civic body (MCF) at Bandhwari site "after a notified date". It was discussed at a meeting chaired by urban local bodies secretary and commissioner Vikas Gupta on July 27. MCG has — in fact — directed MCF to make its own arrangements for waste disposal and cease sending daily waste to the Bandhwari landfill site. MCG commissioner Pradeep Dahiya said, "We have not yet fixed a date beyond which their daily waste won't be accepted at Bandhwari landfill site." MCF has already set up two decentralised waste processing units — one in Mujheri with a capacity to process 150 MT per day and the second one in Pratapgarh with the capacity to process 250 TPD. Another processing facility is being set up at Dabua in Faridabad. MCF commissioner Dhirendra Khadgata said the civic body needs more time since "we have projects of decentralised waste processing in the pipeline". Khadgata said, "We need time to execute those projects and are currently negotiating on that. We have three waste processing units in Pratapgarh, Mujheri and Dabua. However, their functioning is restricted due to rains. 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 We have six transfer stations where we intend to set up processing units.

In Sept last year MCG wrote to the urban local bodies (ULB) department, requesting it to direct the MCF to handle its fresh waste within its own jurisdiction rather than transporting it to the Bandhwari landfill site. In a letter to the ULB department, former MCG commissioner Narhari Singh Banger had said the amount of fresh waste sent from Faridabad to Bandhwari doubled over the past two months, rising from 650 tonnes to a staggering 1,300 tonnes per day in Sept last year. The waste processing at Bandhwari, meanwhile, has stopped since the two agencies working at the site were barred from working by the MCG due to their sluggish pace of work. TOI reported on July 19 that a new estimated proposal of Rs 2.5 crore for the overhaul of the landfill was prepared, which includes the construction of a 15m wide and 400m long cement concrete road alongside the view cutter at the landfill site. Construction of a road will facilitate the smooth movement of the trucks carrying waste. Along with the road, the construction of a reinforced cement concrete drain is also proposed.

AP clears 1,941-acre land pooling in Vizag region to boost ‘Bay City' expansion

VISAKHAPATNAM: In a significant move to support planned urban expansion, the State government has approved a large-scale land pooling initiative across Visakhapatnam, Vizianagaram, and Anakapalli districts. As per Government Order (GO) MS No. 146 dated July 30, 2025, the Municipal Administration and Urban Development (MA&UD) Department has authorised the Visakhapatnam Metropolitan Region Development Authority (VMRDA) to implement a Land Pooling Scheme (LPS) covering 1,941.19 acres. The initiative aligns with the NITI Aayog's Growth Hub (G-Hub) strategy, which aims to position Visakhapatnam as the 'Bay City' or 'Miami of the East. Under the broader Visakhapatnam Economic Region (VER) plan, covering nine districts, the regional economy is projected to grow from $54 billion to $135 billion by 2032. Two key urban extensions — Vizag 2.0 (210 sq. km) and Vizag Bay City (40 sq. km) — will be developed as brownfield projects to accommodate future urban and economic growth in a structured and sustainable manner. To support these developments, the government is investing heavily in integrated infrastructure, including the Vizag Metro Rail project. Phases 1 and 2 of the metro, spanning 77 kilometres, are scheduled for completion between 2028 and 2030. This project will connect the IT corridors and Bhogapuram International Airport. The total investment in metro rail, roads, and urban infrastructure is estimated between Rs 4,000 and Rs 5,000 crore.
