Providing Rs 15 crore aid to the “cash-starved” municipal corporation for development works, the Chandigarh administration also told the civic body on Wednesday that if it cannot maintain the roads, their charge should be handed over to the administration.
To ensure that the funds are not misused, the UT Administration also attached a caveat that “every work that will be carried out using these funds will have to be approved from the administration.”
UT Adviser Manoj Parida told Chandigarh Newsline, “We have decided to give Rs 15 crore to the MC for different development works, but they will have to take approval from us for each of the works they carry out with these funds. We have also suggested that if they cannot maintain the roads, they can give that charge to us. We will manage.”
