According to a Chief Minister's Office release, tenders have been finalized for the H-TRIMS Project for modernization of traffic signals (220) for the entire GHMC area. The cost of the project is Rs. 65 Crores.
Since BEL has already been identified as the bidder, funds may be provided by the government to complete the work in Phase-I before the COP – 11, on all the identified 25 roads.
The GHMC will also take up work on improveming footpaths on all the identified roads, in coordination with the CPDCL, cable companies and the HMWS&SB.
The Chief Minister asked all departments to draw an action plan to syncronize the execution. Each department must make a budgetary allocation for infrastructural improvements and beautification.
A coordination committee will be constituted to regularly monitor the progress of works. A letter in this regard has already been written to the government, suggesting that the committee be headed by the Principal Secretary to Government, MA & UD.
