Mayor inspects work, seeks info on JNNURM housing

Staff Reporter | Bhopal

Mayor Krishna Gaur on Monday inspected various ongoing development works in the State capital along with the Bhopal Municipal Corporation (BMC) Commissioner Manish Singh and Mayor in Council (MiC) members.

The Mayor sought detailed information about the concrete houses being built for the urban poor under the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM).

Expressing displeasure over the slow pace of work in the construction of concrete houses at Shabri Nagar, she instructed to expedite the work and to get the constructed premises evicted.

She also directed officials to remove shanties from the land reserved for the construction of concrete houses at Bapu Nagar. She also distributed cheques to beneficiaries under the Janshree Insurance Scheme.

The Mayor visited Vajpayee Nagar at Eidgah, Ganga Nagar in Nehru Nagar, Shabri Nagar, Bapu Nagar and Rahul Nagar at MANIT Square and inspected the development works and the construction of concrete houses under the JNNURM. She took account of the number of houses being constructed, current status of work and the time required for them to be completed.

Gaur expressed displeasure over the slow pace of construction work at Shabri Nagar and instructed to expedite work and pay attention on the quality of work. She asked to organise camp for providing water connection to those houses that have already been allotted and to make the residents aware of the Swaran Jayanti self-employment scheme and other employment generating schemes of the State Government.
