Aurangabad, Dec 4:
The Aurangabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) will soon be starting the development of important roads in the city as the state government has today approved to grant aid of Rs 50 crore to the civic body.
It is learnt that the AMC administrator A K Pandey received a phone call from the guardian minister Subhash Desai today and he confirmed about the approval of funds. Meanwhile, Pandey has ordered the civic authorities to issue work orders to the contractors as the AMC is hoping to receive the letter of approval by Monday.
Earlier, the state government had announced the development of important roads of valuing Rs 152 crore through three different government agencies - AMC, MIDC and MSRDC. However, the civic body could not start the works due to lack of funds, in the past eight months. The civic authorities will start the works through contractors as soon as the fund is deposited in its exchequer.

(1) Tarring of the road from Wockhardt Company to Jaibhavani Chowk (Naregaon), Railway Station to Tirupati Enclave.
