Standing Committee Addresses Waterlogging and City Upgrades

01 Sep 2024

The standing committee focused on resolving waterlogging issues, demolishing the Hatkeshwar flyover, and upgrading city infrastructure. Chairman Devang Dani highlighted areas like Madhumalti housing scheme and Makarba police headquarters as problematic for waterlogging. Officials have been tasked with developing an action plan within 50 days to address these concerns.

An agency has bid for the Hatkeshwar flyover's demolition and reconstruction, with the final bid expected to be concluded in 15 days after previous attempts failed. Additionally, in response to local requests, the installation of 3,000 new streetlight poles has been commissioned, with tendering procedures underway.

Dani also addressed complaints about non-functional CCTV cameras, directing officials to ensure all cameras are operational and imposing penalties on negligent contractors. Cleaning operations are planned post-monsoon, and road resurfacing and repair work are set to commence as soon as rain subsides. Preparations for Ganesh visarjan are also in progress, leveraging current dry weather conditions.
