The Kothagudem Urban Development Authority (KUDA), constituted in October 2024, remains defunct as the State government has yet to appoint a chairman. Despite chairpersons being named for other agencies, KUDA has been overlooked, sparking discontent among Congress and CPI leaders.
It might be noted that municipal administration and urban development principal secretary M Dana Kishore has on October 15 issued a GO No: 177 constituting the urban development authority.
