Municipal Commissioner sets deadline for BRTS corridor

Staff Reporter

The Pendurti Bus Rapid Transit System corridor should be completed by December and accountability on the part of contractors and officials would be fixed for delay, Municipal Commissioner B. Ramanjaneyulu has said.

During a visit to Ward 67 on Thursday, he said though more time was sought, the work completed was not in proportion to the time taken.

He directed that the cremation ground there be beautified.

He sanctioned two roads- a BT road at Vidya Colony and another for a link road from beside the cremation ground.

For unauthorised constructions, 10 times the fee for sanction of plan should be levied and 25 per cent more on property tax, he ordered. He directed that charge memo be issued to sanitary inspector Ramakrishna Rao for failure in getting garbage cleared at Baji Junction.

Corporator Chengala Venkatalakshmi, additional commissioner S. Krishna Murthy, Chief City Planner D. Venkataratnam, Chief Medical Officer (Health) D.Abbulu and assistant commissioner R. Somannarayana participated.
