Guntur Municipal Corporation Commissioner K. Mayur Ashok directed engineering officials to repair all potholes in the city within three days and ensure that no pothole remained unattended.
At a review meeting with engineering officials and staff at the GMC conference hall late on Wednesday (September 2, 2026), Mr. Mayur Ashok said most of the second phase of desilting works had been completed. He instructed officials to complete the remaining works on a war footing and pay special attention to areas around culverts, where complaints of inadequate desilting had been received. The removed silt should be cleared from the sites immediately, he said.
Assistant Engineers (AEs) were asked to personally monitor pothole repairs and focus on drinking water supply in their respective jurisdictions. They were directed to prevent contamination and collect water samples from all Elevated Level Service Reservoirs and households during supply.
The Commissioner also instructed officials to ensure water meter readings were taken regularly and to install new meters wherever necessary. Development works should be completed quickly, while works for which tenders had been finalised but not begun should be cancelled, he said.
He also called for improving parks and cremation grounds, completing works funded under the 15th Finance Commission and resolving public complaints within the prescribed time. Before-and-after photographs of resolved complaints should be uploaded, he said.
