JNNURM projects for AMC
The municipal corporation standing committee has approved three
proposals, empowering the commissioner to take necessary action to
forward the proposals to the JNNURM directorate via the state
government. This includes a controversial proposal of 24×7 water supply
in four civic zones, all in the western parts. The committee also
approved submission of a BRTS expansion project in the third phase,
involving expenditure of Rs 353.19 crore to lay corridor length of
26.80 km. The third proposal is for construction of four flyover
bridges. The cost of laying this corridor amounts to Rs 13.17 crore per
km, which the Congress has opposed because of his budget. The Opposiotn
maintained that at least five-km long corridor road could be laid at the
cost of Rs 13.17 crore.
