GHMC Wards Double to 300 Following Merger of 27 ULBs

• Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) wards increased from 150 to 300.
• The increase is due to the merger of 27 Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) with GHMC.
• Telangana government issued the order on December 8.
• The expanded GHMC is now considered the Telangana Core Urban Region for planning and development.
