Hyderabad, March 6 -- GHMC Mayor Vijaya Laxmi R Gadwalon Friday took exception to the Urban Affairs Ministry ranking Hyderabad 24th in the 'Ease of Living Index' and alleged that the methodology used to determine it was improper.

The people would not accept it "as the city is marching ahead in development and provision of basic facilities," she said.

Several international survey agencies, public and private organisations have announced that Hyderabad, with its good living standards, basic facilities, law and order and rapid pace of development, meets the standards of being a best city, Gadwal said.
