Warangal Municipality orders to expedite Smart city works

Mayor Gundu Sudharani and Greater Warangal Municipal Corporation (GWMC) Commissioner P Pravinya have urged authorities to expedite and complete ongoing development projects under the GWMC's 'Smart City Mission' as soon as possible. They stated at a review meeting about the progress of the works under the centrally funded initiative that 66 development works worth Rs 9.48 billion had been undertaken under the scheme. “Of which 27 have already been completed, and the remaining 39 are in different stages of progress,” the commissioner said, and asked the officials to complete them by July. As a part of the junction development programme in the city, the statue of freedom fighter Konda Laxman Bapuji and a replica of a loom should be installed at Kothawada junction, according to the Mayor. Officials have also been instructed to review the progress of the ongoing development works on a day to day basis. The works include the Waddepally tank bund development works, Bhadrakali Bund Zone ‘D’ and the R1 to R10 Smart City roads. They have stressed the need for coordination among the urban planning authorities for the widening of roads, arrangement of culverts on the nalas, and other related works. Meanwhile, the contractors were instructed to expand their labour and materials in order to complete the task on time. “In case of delays, penalties will be imposed on the contractors, and their bills will be cut,” the Mayor said.
