GVMC Standing Committee Approves ₹46.81 Crore in Engineering Works, Addresses Public Health and Revenue Concerns

VISAKHAPATNAM, October 22, 2025 – The Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation (GVMC) Standing Committee has greenlit a significant number of proposals, including ₹46.81 crore worth of engineering projects, during a meeting held on Wednesday. Mayor and Standing Committee Chairperson Peela Srinivasa Rao announced the approval of 213 out of 217 presented proposals (205 main and 12 table agenda items).

The approved engineering works aim to improve infrastructure within the city. In addition to engineering projects, the committee addressed crucial public health matters, including the salaries and allowances for sanitation workers and other essential GVMC staff. Service-related matters for GVMC employees were also discussed and approved. Furthermore, issues related to rents and other matters falling under the Revenue department were resolved.

The GVMC’s decisions reflect a commitment to infrastructure development, public health, and responsible governance within Visakhapatnam.
