AP Assembly Passes Municipal Bills for Urban Changes
The Andhra Pradesh Assembly made some new rules about how cities and towns are run.
They passed five new bills that will change things like how tall buildings can be, how people can vote in local elections, and how the local governments can collect money.
One change allows taller buildings, while another lets people fix buildings that were built incorrectly.
Also, it's now easier to register to vote.
These changes should help the cities work better and grow in a more organized way.
