Lokesh Kumar is new GHMC commissioner

Hyderabad:  In a surprise move, Telangana State Government on Monday transferred GHMC (Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation) Commissioner Dana Kishore and appointed Rangareddy district Collector DS Lokesh Kumar as the Corporation Commissioner with immediate effect.

Kishore has been appointed as GHMC Commissioner in August 2018. During his one year stint, the 1996 batch IAS official succeeded in completing the pending flyovers and other infrastructure development projects in Greater Hyderabad limits. It is learnt that the official's failure in repairing the damaged roads due to heavy rains could be one of the reasons for his transfer.

Kishore has been posted as Managing Director to Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board. Rangareddy district Joint Collector S Sarish has been placed in Full Additional Charge ( FAC) of the post of Collector which fell vacant after the incumbent Lokesh posted as GHMC commissioner. –eom
