Will Speed Up Work On Repairing Potholed Roads, Clearing Debris Next Fiscal: MCD


The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) on Tuesday said more emphasis will be put on repairing Delhi's potholed roads by the Engineering department in the next fiscal year. The Works department of the civic body added that they will also come up with a new system to ensure quicker debris removal.
  The proposals were made at the Budget Session of the MCD on Tuesday, where the Budget from various committees were presented before the Standing Committee.

With regard to bettering infrastucture at MCD-run schools, chairman of the MCD Works Committee Jagdish Mamgain said 60 classrooms have been built in eight months since April last year, and work is on to construct 2,433 more. The civic body will focus on tackling all shortcomings to ensure permanent structures for students of MCD primary schools, he added. The Delhi High Court had recently rapped the civic body for failing to provide permanent buildings for many of its schools and running them from tents.

"From April 1 to November 30 last year, 13 school buildings were completed and 60 classrooms constructed. Work is in progress at 154 schools with 2,433 new classrooms," Mamgain said, presenting the 201112 budget for the committee.
