GIVEN TO PRIVATE PLAYERS

SANITATION SERVICES MAY BE

After roads, the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation is planning to hand over the sanitation services to private players to curb corruption. Officials claimed that privatisation would enhance transparency and accountability.

A corporation official said that despite spending `1,000 crore on sanitation, the civic body was unable to get the desired results. The civic body will float tenders and examine the previous experience of the companies that apply in handling solid waste management before selecting one. Officials said that plan was still in its early stages of discussion. If executed, it would be the first of its kind in India.
