The finance committee of the Amritsar Municipal Corporation (MC) has given the green light to 62 proposals worth crores of rupees. The approvals were granted during a meeting chaired by the committee's chairman, with MC officials and councilors in attendance.
Key Proposals Approved
The approved proposals encompass a wide range of projects aimed at improving civic amenities in Amritsar. These include road construction and repair, sewerage system upgrades, solid waste management initiatives, and beautification of public spaces. Several proposals also focus on enhancing water supply infrastructure and installing new streetlights in various wards.
Financial Details
The total estimated cost of the approved proposals runs into several crores. The funds will be allocated from the MC's budget, with some projects likely to receive state government grants. The finance committee has directed the concerned departments to ensure timely execution and transparency in spending.
Next Steps
The proposals will now be placed before the MC's general house for final approval. Once ratified, tenders will be floated for the execution of works. The MC aims to complete most projects within the current financial year to address long-pending demands of residents.
Councilors from various wards expressed satisfaction with the approvals, stating that the projects would significantly improve the quality of life in their constituencies. However, some opposition members criticized the delay in clearing these proposals and demanded faster implementation.
