Fund crunch has halted 19 ongoing development projects within municipal corporation (MC) limits in Karnal as contractors have ‘stopped’ work on the projects worth Rs 7.07 crore.
Most of the projects, including laying of interlocking paver blocks and various construction of roads, augmentation of water supply and internal drainage stormwater pipelines in various areas were going on in the newly regularised colonies — Basant Vihar, Hakikat Nagar, Ward 2, Ward 1, Palam Colony, Kanika Vihar, Ranwar road, Kunjpura road near Budhakhera village and others, said sources in the MC.
