Road near Book Fair Ground at Milan Mela

I took the Works and Tender Committee meeting yesterday at KMDA. Among other works, we gave the go-ahead signal for inviting tender for the widening of road near Milan Mela / ITC Sonar Bangla / Opp Science Centre that is used for Book Fair these days. The cost would be above Rs. 3 crores. We asked the Chief Engineer to see that it could be completed before the Book Fair began early next year.

I went to meet the Commissioner of Police Gautam Mohan Chakraborty at Lalbazar yesterday. OSD KIT was also with me. We requested CP to spare a few flats of KIT rented out to KP at Jhorobasti near Ultadanga so that slum improvement works could be done - for which 45 families had to be shifted. CP was very positive and understanding. We decided that KIT and Estate Officer of KP would jointly work out whatever was feasible... The slum improvement would be done under the BSUP (Basic Services for the Urban Poor) component of JnNRUM.
