GHMC fears it won’t get funds for roads

Deccan Chronicle  

HYDERABAD: Officials of the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation are keeping their fingers crossed over funding of the Comprehensive Road Maintenance Project. The state government would either include amount in the state budget or, in case of fund crunch, ask HRDCL to knock on the doors of financial institutions. However, in case there is any delay, CRMP would come to a grinding halt, like the 2 BHK housing project, where the government is yet to release funds pertaining to July. Any delay in release of instalments by the government via HRDCL, will lead to condition of city roads deteriorating, especially post monsoon. An official said under CRMP, the main roads of Hyderabad city would be divided into eight units for taking up maintenance works on a war footing.
