Transfer the powers of removing unauthorized hoardings, flexies, and collecting penalties from the GHMC jurisdiction to HYDRA.

Ensure that police station limits and assembly constituency limits fall under the same zone in the zonal division.

Conduct a study to implement stringent rules to curb the encroachment of nalas, ponds, and government lands.

HYDRA should be developed into a strong system. Consider special allocations to HYDRA if necessary. Formulate complete modalities and guidelines before the start of the Assembly session.
