Telangana legislative and municipal reforms

Overview

The Telangana Legislative Assembly has undertaken several administrative and legislative reforms. Initially, officials announced plans to increase transgender representation by appointing co-opted members in nine municipal corporations through amendments to the Telangana Municipalities Act, 2019. Concurrently, the government addressed land registration disputes, with officials working to correct errors in the Dharani digital land records system.

Following these developments, the assembly passed the Core Urban Region (Integrated Governance) Bill, 2026, also known as the CURE Bill. This legislation, which received gubernatorial assent, replaces the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) Act of 1955. The CURE Bill reorganizes the GHMC into three separate municipal corporations to manage Hyderabad’s expanding infrastructure and civic services. However, the reorganization has faced criticism from civil society groups regarding the transparency of the legislative process and the limited duration and language accessibility of the public consultation period.
