All 98 corporators of the Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation (GVMC), irrespective of their political affiliations, unanimously passed a resolution in the Council meeting on Friday against the alleged move to privatise the Visakhapatnam Steel Plant (VSP).

Saying that the resolution would be submitted to the Centre through the State government, the corporators demanded the withdrawal of the disinvestment of RINL-VSP notified in 2021, and the Expression of Interest (EoI) called from private agencies for the operation and maintenance of 44 wings of the VSP.
