ReplyDeleteCorrect decision to impose entry fee to RabindraTirtha as deterrent to nuisance entries and recover a fraction of maintenance/security cost. I hope this is not vetoed.
ReplyDeleteIrony of this state is while RabindraTirtha was ready within a year; the ganga-water pipeline project is still in drawing-board, community markets and basic amenities are still to be provided! The bus-stops have pictures of 'monishi's (read tagore) but doesn't have an iota of information on bus-routes!
ReplyDeleteAs a resident of NewTown, I am happy that Rabindratirtha is getting ready - I could visit that in the evening with my family. But I would be happier if I get proper drinking water without negatively affecting the ground-water level of our area.
Tender for water from Hoogly was published in Times of India and other papers on 21.7.12. It was invited by PHED (NTP Circle). The last date of application is 14.9.2012. The notice mentions that it is a Global e-Tender. Links are available in wbphed.gov.in
ReplyDeleteGreat to know this. Is this only for the New Town area or also for the areas around EM Byepass ?
