Tall claims made by Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) that all Commonwealth Games projects will be completed by March 2010 were exposed on Wednesday. A tailed report presented the standing committee showed that work was yet to be awarded for most of its Games projects.
Out of its 23 roads projects, including the ones that relate to street scaping work be awarded for most.
As far as construction 17 rail underbridges/overbridges the situation is similar. Work has started on only four railway underbridges (RUB) at Sarai Kale Khan, Sewa Nagar, Kishan Ganj and Vivek Vihar. The maximum work completed is at Sewa Nagar, 42% while only 5% work has been done till date at Kishan Ganj. The work is yet to be awarded for most of the other 13 RUBs.
Said MCD commissioner K S a: ‘‘We are confident of comng all our Commonwealth jects on time. Sometimes planning of a project takes time but executing it is faster. We require Rs 900 crore for completion of e projects and have received 390 crore till date. The reaining amount will be paid to us soon.’’ BJP councillor Vijender Gupta claimed that lack of adequate funds was causing delay in execution of projects.
MCD has to upgrade roads in front of various stadiums. For instance, Chyandu Lal Balmiki Marg near Thyagraj Stadium, Dilip Singh Marg near Sri Fort Complex and two stretches near Jawahar Lal Nehru Stadium —Bhishma Pitamah Marg and Mehar Chand Market Road. Work on improvement of major roads like Jawaharlal Nehru Marg — from Ring Road to Thompson Marg (Rs 4.55 crore) — and Mehruali-Gurgaon Road (Rs 6 crore) are in progress.
A month back MCD had claimed that it had completed 40% of the work for covering Sunehri and Kushak nullahs but the figures given on Wednesday were entirely different. According to the latest report, the corporation has completed 28.1% of work for covering Sunehri nullah and 1.5% work for covering the nullah near DPS R K Puram.
Meanwhile, decongestion of New and Old Delhi railway stations has reached the tendering stage. The cost of this project is Rs 5 crore. MCD has to still acquire mechanical sweepers and carry out beautification work. Also, no multi-level parking sites have come up in the city so far.
