MC roots for development grant as given to Delhi
SHIMLA: The Shimla municipal corporation
(MC) has demanded an overall capital development grant on the tune of
what the capital city Delhi gets. A resolution to this effect was mooted
in the MC House on Friday and the proposal would be sent to government
for such a grant for development of the town.
The proposal has
been suggested for equitable distribution of resources for the
development of all MC wards. Now, a Rs 3 crore grant is received for
development of merged areas. The MC has also proposed a street vendor
policy to contain the problem of illegal vendors. The policy will be
prepared after taking into consideration suggestions of a seven-member
committee, led by deputy mayor, and the national vendor policy,
directions of HP high court on vendors, and earlier committees.
