Vikramaditya inspects development works in Shimla’s Totu, Majiyath

Public Works and Urban Development Minister Vikramaditya Singh today inspected various development projects in Totu and Majiyath wards under the Shimla Municipal Corporation.

He said that several developmental projects were already being undertaken in the wards while proposals regarding new developmental works were being prepared.

The minister was welcomed by the locals who also requested the minister to construct a junction at Tavi Mod, stating that during the monsoon, poor drainage on the roads leads to waterlogging in nearby houses. The minister then directed NHAI officials to construct a booth in the middle of the junction and display proper signage to guide drivers.

Officials from the department also briefed him about land selection for an Ayurvedic Health Centre. They said that the centre had been operating from a private building for many years, and there wa currently no dedicated health centre in this ward. The minister instructed the Revenue Department to identify suitable land for the facility.

He also directed the PWD officials to prepare a site plan immediately after inspection for the proposed Community Centre-cum-Parking at Totu. Besides, he inspected various other undergoing projects, including the Vijay Nagar to Shiv Nagar road. He also took feedback on the proposed Tavi to Majiyath road.

“The long-standing demand for a parking area near the PWD SDO office is being addressed by the department. The construction work will be initiated as soon as a No Objection Certificate (NOC) is received from the Shimla Municipal Corporation,” the minister said.

He said that a multi-storey parking facility had already been inaugurated in Totu, benefiting the local residents significantly.
