Aurangabad, Feb 13:
Small and big accidents are happening on the main roads of the city due to lack of dividers and sidewalks. AMC received Rs 63.51 crore from 15th Finance Commission in September 2021. The administration had announced that cement dividers would be constructed on 24 roads and sidewalks at 3 places at a cost of Rs 20 crore. Five months later, the work has not yet begun.
Many roads have been repaired in the city by spending Rs 274 crore received from the state government. But the corporation left the dividers and sidewalks unchecked. A fund of Rs 63.51 crore was provided to corporation from 15th finance commission. From this fund, dividers will be laid on 24 roads. Sidewalks will be constructed by laying paving blocks on three roads. It was said that these works would further enhance the beautification of the city.
