Even as Hyderabad is tackling the COVID-19 pandemic, the Enforcement, Vigilance and Disaster Management (EVDM) wing of the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) is one of the departments that has received praise from all quarters.
With its personnel on the frontline, it has been fully equipped to curb the spread of the coronavirus. Decked in protective gear, the personnel of the Disaster Response Force (DRF), overseen by the EVDM wing, have been ensuring that several areas across the city are thoroughly disinfected.
Praise is pouring in from citizens and officials alike, with Municipal Administration and Urban Development (MAUD) Minister KT Rama Rao complimenting them on a 'fabulous job', tweeting, "Hyderabad is possibly the only metropolitan city in India with its own city DRF which has been using vehicle mounted jetting machines and also portable disinfectant sprayers. Glad that they’ve been able to instill confidence among citizens."
