Commissioner B.fees Bala Swamy and Assistant Commissioner Killana Appala Raju and others asked the people to cooperate with the officials and pay their property tax dues immediately to avoid late fees and penalties. Mr. Bala Swamy said that the teams were directed to focus on vacant land tax collection and water bills also during this special drive, which would continue till March 31, 2026.
