The other civic agency Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) had recently floated tenders worth Rs 250 crore for concretising 138 roads under its jurisdiction. Until a few months ago, NMC authorities were claiming that they could not undertake road repair work due to lack of funds.
NIT chairman Sanjay Mukherjee said that approval has also been sought from the divisional commissioner to carry out works using Central government funds. Another Rs 138 crore proposal has been forwarded by NIT to the state government for the maintenance of roads in NIT areas. Out of the proposed amount, Rs 78 crore was in the final stages of sanction, Mukherjee said.
Although, no specific date has been given for work to commence, NIT has assured that it will begin very soon.
Under NIT`s `Highway Beautification Scheme`, NIT has maintained Kamptee and Wardha roads on NH-7 at a total cost of Rs 6 crore. Fresh tenders have now also been floated for renovation, upgradation and maintenance of these roads for a period of five years. The cost of the project is Rs 3 crore. Topiary work shall be carried out to beautify Wardha Road, along with massive plantation of flowering plants on the road dividers.
The areas earmarked for this work are Vijay Nagar (Hunuman Mandir to Shitala Mata Mandir), Ring Road to city limits (Giddoba Nagar), Dharam Nagar to Bharatwada, approach road to Iskon Temple from Bharatwada, DP Road from Somalwada to Chinchbhuvan, and Beltarodi road at Borgaon.
Widening of service road at Itwari station overbridge to Mehandibagh road junction and construction of RCC slab bridge in Mankapur ring road will also be taken up soon. Road construction from Ramna Maroti, Ishwar Nagar chowk to ring road, Hudkeshwar road from Malghi Nagar to old octroi naka (Bidipeth) are also earmarked for repair and maintenance works.
