GVMC Commissioner Gummalla Srijana transferred, S Nagalakshmi to take over

The Commissioner of the Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation (GVMC) Dr Gummalla Srijana (IAS) has been transferred, as per the orders passed by the State Election Commissioner on Tuesday night. Reportedly, she has been asked to report to the General Administration Department in Amaravati for details on further posting.

Several citizens have been taking to social media to thank Srijana for services in Vizag and wishing her the best for her future endeavours.

I was really surprised to hear about the transfer news of GVMC Commissioner Smt @GummallaSrijana garu ahead of crucial GVMC elections. She has won the heart of every Vizagite with her committed service to the city.
