Save The Hoarding Industry: Telangana Outdoor Media Owner's Association
Hyderabad: Since 2005 onwards there have been no new hoarding permissions in GHMC limits as per the GHMC records only 2400 numbers was existing. With the 2400 hoardings in GHMC Limits the advertisement tax revenue is nearly 30Cr. Other than Advertisement Tax the GHMC is used to get another 10 CR revenue on leasing the property for the erection of the hoardings by the advt. agencies like us in the Govt Depts HMDA, Water Works, Police dept and etc.… After 2005 the GHMC has expanded its limits but no new hoardings permissions have been issued in the expanded areas. If new permissions are allowed up to total New GHMC (ORR) limits, minimum scope of hoardings should be around 10000 approximately and the Advertisement tax revenue for Govt of Telangana would have been around 250 to 300cr. Before 2020 the registered Advt. agencies are 209 and unregistered agencies are 200 in GHMC limits, and after the GO no 68 brought by the previous Government in 20th April 2020, all the hoardings in GHMC limits were removed, and the Hoarding Advertisement revenue is 0 and 209 registered & 200 un registered agencies are jobless and got bankrupt. After issuing GO MS No 68, other media revenue to GHMC is around 8 to 10 CR (Bus shelters, Metro media, FOBS, Umbrellas) excluding hoardings and due to some legal complications as of now GHMC was not getting the above revenue also. We had executed many advertising campaigns for the last Government and present Government, for many Government welfare schemes and as if now due to unavailability of hoarding media all the corporates and small Business developers are unable to promote their brand value and their products in the city like Hyderabad due to Monopoly and restricted media with higher tariffs. Soon after the Congress Government formed, we the TOMO association gave a representation in Prajadarbar and Chief Ministers Office on 11th Dec 2024, regarding to bring a new advertisement policy with the following media. Small size mono/uni pole hoardings Display size 30'x30', roof top hoardings up to 3rd floor with the display size of 50'x25' and wall drop hoardings maximum 1000sft. With the financial revenue details. In the month of January 2024, the same representation submitted at the commissioner GHMC, and Principal Secretory MA & UD, and Special Secretary to CM, to bring a comprehensive advertisement policy to save the outdoor advertising industry. In the month of Jan-2024 we met Honorable Minister Sri. Ponnam Prabakar, Hyderabad City In charge and discussed about our representation and given him, on the same representation he wrote a letter to the Principal Secretary MA&UD, and after this we met 3 to 4 Honorable Ministers, but still the advertising policy is pending. Soon after announcing the GHMC limits expansion up to Outer Ring Road, we again submitted a representation with full financial details with graphical chart stating that if allows all kind media in GHMC limits the Government may get around 200 to 300 crores advertisement tax as revenue per year. While we are pursuing about the new advertisement policy, on 18th March 2024 the CDMA department issued a circular (ROC No.143551/2020-24/M1) to all the municipalities and ULBS in Telangana stating not to collect any advertisement taxes and not to issue any new permissions, as the Government is going to revise advertisement tax. Immediately after this circular we met the Commissioner and Director of Municipal Administration and given our representation and immediately we got positive response from the Commissioner and informed us that soon we will get new advertisement policy. There after immediately we met the Principal Secretary MA&UD regarding the CDMA Circular and given a representation and discussed about our problem with that circular. From the last 1 year onwards we are regularly pursuing for the new advertisement policy to all municipalities including GHMC. Regarding comprehensive advertisement policy, we met many Honorable Ministers seeking their help, and as the designated portfolio is with Honorable Chief Minister we are trying for his appointment since Jan -2024 onwards, but still, we are waiting for appointment.

Hyderabad traffic police to use cameras on high-rises for ‘eagle view' monitoring
The Hyderabad police are installing cameras on multi-storey buildings across the city to get an 'Eagle View' of traffic movement and congestion points. The initiative, supported by building owners, aims to help traffic officials detect problems in real time, alert ground staff, and suggest immediate solutions. This was announced during a traffic review meeting held on Friday by C.V. Anand, Commissioner of Police, Hyderabad. Mr. Anand said that the average speed of vehicles in Hyderabad has increased from 17–18 kilometres per hour last year to 24–25 kilometres per hour now, thanks to the efforts of the traffic police. 'Around 1,600 new vehicles are being added to Hyderabad roads every day. Across the three Commissionerates, approximately 91 lakh vehicles are on the road daily,' said the Commissioner. Meanwhile, Mr. Anand said 'Operation Rope' has shown good results and will be strengthened further through a more scientific approach. On VIP movement, he said traffic is now being managed in a more planned manner. Instructions from the Chief Minister to avoid long traffic halts during his travel are being followed strictly, he added. 'About 80% of the traffic signals in Hyderabad now run on auto mode, helping improve the flow of vehicles. For traffic violations, the department is focusing more on the quality of penalties rather than the number of fines, which has led to a decrease in the overall fines being issued,' said the officer. He further added that drone cameras are already in use for monitoring traffic, and Google is providing technical assistance in addition to Google Maps to improve the traffic system. Traffic marshals To address staff shortage, the traffic department is introducing the 'Traffic Marshal' system, where corporate companies can appoint marshals under Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). These marshals will be trained by the police and used for traffic control duties. Transgender individuals working as traffic assistants are delivering good results, Mr. Anand said, adding that a report has been submitted to the government. 'More appointments will be made in the traffic department and the government is also preparing to fill vacancies in other departments,' assured the Commissioner. Mr. Anand said preparations for the monsoon season are in progress, with coordination between the police, GHMC and HYDRA. He also mentioned that the disturbance caused by private travel buses is high, and a meeting will be held soon with their managements to take appropriate action. The meeting was attended by all the ACPs, Additional DCPs, Inspectors and SIs from traffic stations, along with Joint Commissioner of Police (Traffic) D. Joel Davis, DCP Traffic-I B.K. Rahul Hegde, DCP Traffic-II Ashok Kumar and DCP Traffic-III R. Venkateswarlu.
