The Kakinada Municipal Corporation (KMC) Council on Monday passed a resolution to transfer 67 government primary, upper primary, and high schools along with their immovable assets and teaching staff to the Education Department citing insufficient human resources to run the schools.
Presently, all the government schools in the KMC are being run by the Municipal Administration and Urban Development Department.
The resolution was moved in the emergency council meeting convened here on Monday by Mayor Sunkara Siva Prasanna. Five Telugu Desam Party Corporators opposed the resolution and threatened to launch protests against the decision if the civic body did not withdraw it.
