Special VFR clearance
Hi there~
Let me ask you something.
Can a radar controller in approach facility issue a Special VFR clearance to the pilot?
AIM says when a control tower is located within the Class B, C or D surface area, requests for clearances should be to the tower.
I know radar service is provided to SVFR aircraft within control zone class B, C, D or E below 10,000ft
Please explain me about SVFR in detail.
Thanks in advance.

In a word, yes. It's what many approach radar controllers in the UK spend much of their time doing as many SVFR flights are zone transits which have no need to contact the tower of the aerodrome.
The rules regarding SVFR probably vary depending on the country so best advice is for you to check your local AIP.
