He asked deputy municipal commissioners take up surprise checks early in the morning, to ensure daily lifting of garbage.He directed officials to make sure no plastic carry bags are given free of cost, with the maximum price being `5. “The rates of carry bags should be displayed at the cash counter and thickness of the carry bag, PCB registration number and address of the manufacturer printed on the bag,” Krishna Babu added.He also asked officials to give clearance to pending building permission files by July 30. On the matter of Land Regularisation Scheme applications, Krishna Babu said about 16,000 applications belong to the LB Nagar and Kukatpally Circles. “If these are properly dealt with at the earliest, the GHMC will get `50-60 crore additional income,” the commisioner said, adding that zonal commissioners should take responsibility and dispose them at the earliest.
