Visakhapatnam: Nearly two months have passed since the transfer of the last commissioner and yet, no new appointment has been made for the post at the Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation (GVMC), which is the largest civic body in the state.
The then incumbent commissioner P Sampath Kumar was transferred in Jan. Since then, the post has remained vacant, with district collector MN Harendhira Prasad serving as the in-charge commissioner. Locals have long expressed their concerns about the vacant post, as it would affect the overall functioning of the civic body.
GVMC CPM and CPI corporators, Dr. B Gangarao and AJ Stalin, staged a protest in front of the GVMC main office on Monday, demanding for the immediate appointment of a commissioner. They told media that due to the lack of a commissioner public has been facing severe difficulties..
