Concerns over ad policy raised during GHMC meeting

GHMC general body meeting on Monday raised concerns over advertising policy of the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC). Corporators alleged that large-scale corruption was going on in granting advertising rights to private agencies. They said that three agencies have monopolised the advertisement space in the city with the blessings of a few officials.
