Concretization of road to be over by December, says AMC

AURANGABAD: Municipal commissioner Harshdeep Kamble inspected the ongoing concretization work of the road between Kranti Chowk and the Aurangabad railway station on Sunday. Kamble directed the concerned authorities to complete the work at the earliest.

The civic body started concretization work on the left side of the four-lane road on Sunday. City engineer Sakhram Panzade told TOI the concrete road would be ready by December. "We will open a portion of the road for citizens by the end of this year but it will take some more time to complete the entire concretization work. The central part of the four-lane road is being concretized. People can use the concrete part while tar would be put on the rest of the stretch," he added. Work on the 2.5-km long concrete stretch has been going on since June 2012.

When asked about AMC's plans to improve the condition of roads in other areas, Panzade said the civic chief had asked officials to speed up work on some main roads.

Kamble also visited the Harsul Lake. The AMC recently announced that it would start supplying water from the lake water to residents living nearby. Commenting on the AMC's preparation on lifting water from Harsul, Panzade said equipments have been procured to carry out the work. "Mayor Kala Oza will perform jal poojan on October 29, after which the water supply will begin," he said.
