A 100-bed shelter for the homeless urban poor will be constructed at the ISBT in Sector 43 here. This was stated by Pujnab Governor and UT Administrator VP Singh Badnore while addressing an MC House meeting here today.
Badnore said the trial run for bringing additional 29 MGD of water from Kajauli had been successfully completed on August 27 and the city would get the additional supply by the last week of September.
On fund crunch being faced by the civic body, he said, “The MC has taken various steps to improve its financial position. The UT Administration has provided it a grant-in-aid of Rs 375 crore this year against Rs 269 crore given a year before. For further improving its financial condition, two new petrol pump sites were allotted and 28 unipole sites were approved for it.”
