To fill potholes, LMC to spend ₹22 crore from corporators’ quota

LUCKNOW The Lucknow Municipal Corporation (LMC) has decided to spend ₹22 crore from the corporators’ quota to fill potholes and carry out patchwork on roads where reconstruction is not required. In the annual budget, the civic body has sanctioned ₹70 crore for the construction of roads but this fund would not be utilised for minor repairs.

The LMC’s decision to deduct ₹20 lakh from the quota of each corporator for the patchwork has not gone down well with the corporators. A number of them, those of the ruling party, have expressed their anger over the decision.
