KMC removes 203 encroachments
The municipal corporation team led by KS Awasthi, deputy city
commissioner zone- 4 started its campaign from Ashok nagar crossing and
removed illegal constructions from Harsh Nagar petrol pump, Brahmanagar
crossing, 80 feet road, Kamla Nehru Park, Nehru Nagar electronic market,
P Road, Lenin Park and Gandhi Nagar Park.
During the drive,
the squad demolished 7 shanties, 27 tarpaulin sheds, and 11 bamboo sheds
besides removing 17 kiosks, 127 banners, 14 tables, chairs and benches.
Health camp: Municipal corporation Kanpur Nagar will organise a free
homeopathic camp at Mohd Ali park in Chamanganj on April 21, 2013.
According to city health officer Dr UP Agarwal, the local corporator
had sought a health camp in the area and his representation was
accepted. Two homoeopathic doctors Ghanshyam Naresh and Shabbir Ahmad
had been appointed by him for the camp, that would open at 9 am, he
said.
Budget discussion: House of municipal corporation will
discuss the budget for the year 2013-14 on April 27, 2013. The executive
committee has already cleared the budget of Rs 171 billion. The house
would discuss the various provisions of the budget and thereafter
development work would begin in current financial year, according to
municipal commissioner.
Meanwhile, corporators are once again joining hands to raise the issue of house tax in the house.
Tendors: Municipal corporation Kanpur nagar officers are baffled with
the strategy of contractors. For cleaning of 160 drainage of the city,
contractors had not make bid for 34 nullahs. The contractors who had
made bid for remaining nullahs had quoted 25 to 30 percent less rates
than stipulated one.
According to the chief engineer of
municipal commissioner it was disturbing that contractors had quoted 25
to 30 percent less rates in their bids. It would directly hit the
quality of work therefore no final decision had been taken so far.
