The participants at a roundtable, held on the proposed property tax hike by the Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation (GVMC), described the unilateral decision as ‘undemocratic’ and ‘illegal’.
The roundtable was held on Wednesday on the issue of the draft notification to hike the property tax, based on the land values in different areas, instead of the earlier method of tax assessment based on rental value. CPI State assistant secretary J.V. Satyanarayana Murthy, TDP State general secretary Md. Nazeer, CPI(M) city secretary and 78th Ward corporator B. Ganga Rao, JSP leader and 22nd Ward corporator Peethala Murthy Yadav, Congress leader S. Sudhakar, Lok Satta leader V. Hari Ganesh and CPI-ML leader Ganesh Panda were among those who attended.
