Madurai City Corporation has chalked out a Rs 24 crore plan to relay, repair and lay new roads on 67 stretches in various parts of the city that cry for attention. The city corporation council adopted a resolution in this regard on November 28.
For taking up the project, a proposal has been prepared and sent to the Commissioner of Municipal Administration (CMA) in Chennai, for approval. The proposal includes metal, concrete and paver block roads for a stretch of 59.517 km.
When the underground drainage (UGD) works under National River Conservation Plan and Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JnNURM) were carried out in the city, many stretches of the roads were excavated and damaged.
Similarly, during the implementation of the second phase of Vaigai Drinking Water Scheme was implemented, the roads in some areas sustained damages due to digging for laying the pipes. The recent monsoons also took a toll on many roads inside the city limits.
