The Central Monitoring and Sanctioning Committee of the centrally-sponsored Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission at its meeting in New Delhi on Tuesday agreed to release about Rs.80 crore for six projects taken up under the Urban Infrastructure and Governance (UIG).
The committee took the decision after a presentation made by Municipal Commissioner B. Ramanjaneyulu at the CMSC meeting expressing its satisfaction with the work. The committee took up for review six of the 13 projects taken up under UIG in JNNURM.
Water supply
The release accounts for the third instalment of Rs.39 crore for the integrated water supply for the One Town area taken up with a cost of Rs.47.93 crore, a similar scheme for the central parts of the city (Rs.190.18 crore), and modernisation of Gangulagedda and Yerrigedda drains at a cost of Rs.39 crore. Another Rs.41 crore is towards the fourth instalment for the Rs.39.76-crore scheme for improving drinking water supply at Gajuwaka and distribution (Rs.46 crore) and the drinking water supply improvement in 32 villages that became part of the city forming GVMC (Rs.240.74 crore).
Mr. Ramanjaneyulu said the release of the Rs.80 crore would also pave way for the State government to release its share of Rs.32 crore. The GVMC matching contribution is Rs.48 crore.
While six of the 13 projects taken up under UIG have been completed, the others would be over by June 2012, he added.
Union Urban Development Secretary Navin Kumar, joint secretary Isha Singh and GVMC Chief Engineer B. Jayarami Reddy participated in the meeting.
