Indore Assigns Rs 4.5 Billion for Road Development, Green Initiatives

The Indore Municipal Corporation (IMC) has approved Rs 4.5 billion for 23 road development projects aimed at improving urban infrastructure and promoting sustainable practices. The decision was taken during the mayor-in-council (MiC) meeting chaired by Mayor Pushyamitra Bhargava, alongside IMC Commissioner Shivam Verma and senior officials. The approved projects include the construction and widening of 23 major roads across the city, connecting key areas such as Bhagirathpura, Kila Maidan, and the airport. Additionally, 14 new roads aligned with Indore’s master plan were sanctioned, with detailed project reports (DPRs) to be submitted for state government approval. In a significant step toward environmental sustainability, the council greenlit the expansion of the biogas plant at Devguradia, increasing its capacity from 500 TPD to 800 TPD. The procurement of 100 electric garbage tipper vehicles was also approved to enhance door-to-door waste collection. Further initiatives include the introduction of road-sweeping machines, a new garbage transfer station, and the incineration-based disposal of dead animals. The MiC also approved the development of gardens in all 22 city zones, inspired by the Eurasia Garden, to enhance green spaces and aesthetics. The council proposed a pilot project to make one ward self-reliant through Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives, reflecting its commitment to innovative urban solutions. "These projects focus on enhancing public amenities and fostering sustainable development for Indore's future," Mayor Bhargava remarked. (ET)
