Interesting restructuring. Giving one officer charge of all three corporations could ensure coordination, but it's also a huge responsibility. Hope Mr. Ranjan has a solid team to manage the scale of Hyderabad.

As a resident of Uppal zone, I'm cautiously optimistic. Our area has been neglected for years. If this new Malkajgiri Corporation can fix water supply and drainage, it will be a big relief. Actions matter more than orders.

Jayesh Ranjan sir has a good track record in IT and urban development. His leadership could bring much-needed efficiency. But the proof will be in the pudding – let's see if property tax payments become easier and grievance redressal faster.

With respect, I have a concern. Concentrating power in one Special Officer for three massive corporations might create a bottleneck. Hope the Commissioners (Karnan, Reddy, Srijana) have real operational autonomy to serve their zones effectively.

Good step theoretically. But will it reduce corruption at the ward level? That's the real question. We need transparency in tenders and contracts. The new website should show all works and budgets clearly for each circle.
