Greater Hyderabad civic body to digitise house-numbering system

In an ambitious project, Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) will carry out digital house-numbering with aid from the World Bank. A pilot project is being carried out in Moosapet to identify every house within GHMC limits with a unique number. The house-numbering system will have a direct impact on the city’s growth, as more property tax is likely to be collected once the uniform system is in place, said a GHMC official. In several areas, due to lack of proper house numbers, the civic body failed to achieve the expected property tax target.
