These initiatives are primarily focused on the upgrade of infrastructure in various colonies and villages within the municipal limits.
As per the authorities, the tendering process, which was put on hold due to the enforcement of the model code of conduct, has now resumed. Among the top priorities are the repair and construction of manholes across different wards, beautification of parks, operation and maintenance of stormwater disposal points and the installation of tubewells for an improved water supply. The authorities claimed that these projects would help in the improvement of drainage systems and public amenities.
