Nagpur: The Nagpur Improvement Trust (NIT) on Tuesday announced a slew of decisions to push the development of Second Capital City of Nagpur ahead.
Rs 100 crore for road projects:
The Board of Trusties, in a meeting held today, made available a fund of Rs 100 crore for various road projects to be undertaken by Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC). This NIT move will strengthen the network of main roads across the Orange City. The Rs 100 crore fund made available by NIT is its share proportionate to funds spent by NMC in development of city roads.
Rs 100 crore for basic amenities in regularized layouts:
In another important decision, the Board of Trusties of NIT announced Rs 100 crore fund for completion of basic facilities in the regularized layouts in accordance with the Maharashtra Gunthewari Developments (Regularisation, Upgradation and Control) Act, 2001. The NIT move comes in the wake of repeated demand from citizens of the layouts. Even though the NIT is making efforts to get the fund from State Government, it has made available Rs 100 crore for development of basic amenities in the layouts from its own coffers considering the interests of the citizens.
