Foundation stone for 3 flyovers this month
Tenders to be called for storm water drain repair work soon.
Mayor Mohd. Majid Hussain on Monday said foundation stones would be laid for flyovers at Tolichowki, Moghal ka Nala and Kishan Bagh nala within a fortnight or so.
After discussing the pending stormwater drain repair works and other projects with GHMC Commissioner M.T. Krishna Babu, Engineer-in-chief R. Dhan Singh and other senior officials, Mr. Hussain called for status reports on the delayed works of the Murki nala , Kandikal Gate road over bridge as also the Bilalnagar Bridge. The Mayor called for immediate tendering of works worth Rs.222 crore for completing work on the drains.
Earlier in the day, the Commissioner briefed the Mayor about the meeting with Chief Minister N. Kiran Kumar Reddy and said the proposal for a separate land acquisition unit for the stormwater drains work was cleared.
Enhancing tender premiums to 10 per cent from the current five per cent and a housing unit in the ongoing Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission housing schemes for those affected in road widening too have been cleared, he said.
Mr. Hussain also asked Mr. Krishna Babu to furnish Google Earth maps on the full tank levels (FTLs) prepared by the Irrigation Department during the peak monsoon seasons so that proper boundaries can be earmarked.
‘Park land encroached’
Meanwhile, a complaint about a designated park land being encroached at Sanjeeviahnagar, Lalapet, was filed during the weekly ‘Prajavani’ programme chaired by Special Commissioner Navin Mittal. The complainant, Abdul Saleem, alleged that 650 sq. yards of park land was encroached upon.
A similar complaint regarding government land in the same area was made by Dinakar. Mr. Mittal directed Deputy Commissioner Gangadhar Reddy to look into the complaints. Most complaints were about unauthorised constructions, which were reported from Mehdipatnam, Saidabad, Tadbund, Kabutar Khana and few other places.
