(Hyderabad) In addition to the 10 Panchayats (Satamrai, Manikonda Jagir, Narsingi, Kokapet, Puppalguda, Peerancheruvu, Hydershakotla, Bandlaguda Jagir, Balapur and Nizampet) which are kept ready for merger with GHMC, the Govt. has issued GO, proposing to merge 13 more Panchayats.
The 13 Panchayats Proposed to be Merged with GHMC:
Shamshabad, Bachupally, Kompally, Jalpally, Boduppal, Pragathi Nagar, Dulapally, Peerzadiguda, Nagaram, Gundla Pochampally, Parvathapur, Chengicherla and Medipally.
Once all the above Panchayt''s are merged, GHMC will expand to 625Sq KM. Its a moot point whether the civic infrastructure can take the burden of managing and maintaing the huge additional land stretch, which are currently managed by respective Panchayats.
