The CPI(M) Greater Visakha City Committee has demanded open auction of GVMC shops and markets and action against those owners, who have not been paying rent arrears to the corporation.
Addressing the media here on Friday, city committee secretary and corporator B. Ganga Rao and secretariat member R.K.S.V. Kumar said that though the auction for shops has to be conducted once in three years, the guidelines were being flouted and lease continued at the old rates for years, causing a loss of ₹25 crore to the corporation every year. The GVMC had formed a committee on September 17, 2021, to conduct a market study on 113 shops.
