Unauthorised structures abound in all the nooks of the city, but action on part of the GHMC is wanting, notwithstanding the buzz over the overhaul of the enforcement side through constitution of zonal level task forces.
Telangana Municipal Building Tribunal, the express objective of which is dealing with all town planning, enforcement and building issues, has been defunct for the last six years, owing to vacant chairperson and member posts.
The tribunal was constituted by an amendment to the GHMC Act passed by the State Legislative Assembly in the year 2016. Rules pertaining to the tribunal were framed the next year. However, appointment of the chairperson and eight members has not taken place till now.
