Raipur. With the aim of all-round development of the capital Raipur, expansion of civic amenities and permanent solution to old problems, MP and senior BJP leader Shri Brijmohan Agarwal held a detailed review meeting of the Municipal Corporation on Wednesday. In this marathon meeting that lasted for about 4 hours, a concrete action plan was discussed to make Raipur modern, beautiful and well-organized while maintaining its religious and cultural identity.
Accountability ensured, excuses ended
MP Agarwal said in a strict tone that it is not acceptable that “This work was done by Smart City, the corporation is not aware.” The Municipal Corporation should have information and responsibility about every development work being done in the capital, so that the public can be answered.
The purpose of the corporation is to provide facilities to the public
He said that the work of the Municipal Corporation is to provide basic facilities like roads, electricity, water, drains and cleanliness to the citizens, and not to make earning revenue a priority. Civic amenities should be the center of every project. Taking seriously the problem of shortage of drinking water in summer and waterlogging in rain, he instructed to survey major infrastructure like drains, pipes, roads and pipelines simultaneously and prepare a coordinated plan to work. So that the problem of drinking water and waterlogging is solved. He said that the plan should not be made only for the present, but should be made keeping in mind the next 50 years, so that this problem does not arise again in future.
Strictness on illegal construction and colonies MP Brijmohan Agarwal
Instructed strict action to stop the increasing illegal construction and colonies without permission in the city. He said that this is not only a matter of spoiling the beauty, but also puts pressure on civil security and infrastructure. Expressing displeasure over the opening of commercial establishments in residential areas, he demanded immediate action against them.
Illegal occupation of the road is a problem for the city
The corporation should run a campaign to end encroachment on footpaths and roads. There should be both fine and legal action against the culprits.
Advance preparation for festive season
Crowd and movement increases during festive season. For this, plans should be made for cleanliness, lighting, traffic management and security of market areas from now onwards.
Ban on open meat sale
There should be a ban on open meat sale in the city, so that hygiene and health standards can be followed. Also, a standardized slaughter house should be established.
Improvement in working system at zone level
MP Brijmohan Agarwal directed that the corporation headquarters will have to provide complete information about the work of each zone at the local level. Councilors should not have to come to the headquarters for small things, they should get solutions from the zone office itself. Zones should be given more rights and resources. The process of tender and work order should be completely transparent. Tenders up to Rs 20 lakh should be issued from the zone itself, so that the work is done quickly. Taking a serious stand on the complaint of putting wrong notices on houses, MP Agarwal. Gave instructions to issue notices and take its receipt. Also, zones should be given more resources and rights for the problem of stray animals. ‘
‘One Time Settlement Scheme’ is useful for resolving tax disputes in the Municipal Corporation: MP Brijmohan Agarwal
In the capital Raipur, both the citizens and the corporation are facing problems regarding the Municipal Corporation tax. In the current system, while the public has to visit the offices again and again, the corporation also does not get the full revenue on time, which hinders development work. In view of this situation, MP and senior BJP leader Brijmohan Agarwal has directed the Corporation Commissioner to prepare a ‘One Time Settlement Scheme’. He said that with such a scheme, citizens will be able to get rid of tax disputes by depositing a lump sum amount and the corporation will also get immediate revenue, which will increase the pace of development work.
MP Agarwal clarified that the scheme should be transparent, simple and public welfare, so that more and more people can take advantage of it and the financial condition of the corporation is strengthened. MP Brijmohan Agarwal said, “The city will become strong only when the wards are strong. It is the responsibility of all of us to provide a clean, safe and convenient environment to the citizens of Raipur. Our aim is to include the capital among the ideal cities of the country in the coming time.
