A writ petition has brought renewed focus on the GHMC ward delimitation process. In this video, we break down the legal framework governing ward delimitation, the recent developments in the process, and why transparency and timelines matter in urban governance.
The discussion covers the requirement to place ward-wise population details and ward-wise maps in the public domain, and the opportunity given to stakeholders to file objections before finalisation. The video explains how these steps align with the Telangana Municipal Corporation Delimitation of Wards Rules, 1996 and Section 8-A of the GHMC Act.
This video explains:
• What GHMC ward delimitation means
• The legal procedure under the 1996 Rules
• Why ward-wise population data and maps are crucial
• How objections play a role in delimitation
