GUNTUR: The Guntur Municipal Corporation’s standing committee has approved development works worth Rs 34.15 crore across multiple city divisions, Mayor Kovelamudi Ravindra announced on Tuesday.
The decision was taken during a committee meeting at the Mayor’s chamber, attended by Municipal Commissioner Puli Srinivasulu and senior officials. A total of 101 proposals were approved after detailed deliberations with elected representatives and department heads.
