Candidates interested in the role are required to submit their applications and accompanying documentation by June 8. All submissions should be directed to the office of the Special Chief Secretary, Hyderabad Metropolitan Area and Urban Development Department.

The vacancy arose following the resignation of Dr N. Satyanarayana, a former IAS officer, who stepped down citing health concerns.

A minimum of 20 years of professional experience is mandatory. Relevant domains encompass urban development, housing, real estate, infrastructure, economics, planning, law, commerce, accountancy, and public administration.

The selected individual will be appointed for a tenure of up to five years, though this will terminate earlier if the appointee reaches 65 years of age.

The position offers a monthly remuneration of Rs 1.50 lakh, supplemented by a house rent allowance of Rs 50,000. Vehicle facilities will be provided in accordance with government rules.

Selection Process

A committee chaired by the Chief Justice of the Telangana High Court will evaluate all submitted applications. The committee's role involves assessing qualified candidates and recommending the most suitable individual for the appointment.

According to legal professionals, the complete selection process is anticipated to extend beyond one month.
