Authorities of the Siliguri Municipal Corporation (SMC) on Friday elaborated on civic projects planned across the city.
Among these include the construction of roads and the development of sewerage, renovation of parks, beautification and landscaping.
MLA Asok Bhattacharya, who chairs the board of administrators of the SMC, said that while some of these projects were over, work on some others will start next month.
“A number of development projects worth over Rs 50 crore have been completed in the city during the past few months,” said Bhattacharya.
According to him, around Rs 22 crore had been spent to develop roads in the civic area. Also, Rs 5 crore which the civic body had received under the Green City Mission, a central scheme, was spent to beautify many stretches of the embankment of the Mahananda river that moves through the city.
