JNURM scheme DPRs withdrawn

PATNA: The state urban development department has decided to withdraw detailed project reports (DPRs) on schemes to be taken up under Jawaharlal Nehru Urban Renewable Mission (JNURM) from the Union urban development ministry.

The schemes related to construction of sewerage and drainage systems and sewerage treatment plants in various towns located on the banks of Ganga.

The decision, sources said, was taken at a meeting chaired by deputy CM Sushil Kumar Modi on Thursday.

The DPRs of towns of Begusarai, Hajipur and Buxar were prepared by Infrastructure Professional Enterprises (P) Ltd. The estimated cost of these projects was over Rs 200 crore. According to the sources, the DPRs have been withdrawn due to resource crunch in the Union ministry.

Now, these DPRs will be sent to National Ganga Basin Authority which gives funds for river front development of towns located on the banks of Ganga.
