A MEETING of the 69-member Indore Municipal Corporation (IMC) General Council will be convened at the civic body headquarters at 11 am on Saturday.
Several build-operate-transfer (B-O-T) projects, including construction of footbridge-cum-escalators on AB and MG Road, a footbridge near Kamla Nehru Prani Sangrahalaya and 25 community toilets, will be taken up during the session.
The meeting - convened more than a month after the maximum 60-day gap between two sessions mandated by law - will also address proposals for setting up seven hawkers’ zones, renting out rooftops of IMC-owned markets to outdoor advertisers, endorsement of the e-governance contract awarded to M/s Elbiz and clearance of the highest bid for community toilets.
Also on the anvil - allotment of additional shops built under Patel Bridge at Chhoti Gwaltoli, renewal of the lease for 339, Shivaji Nagar near Indore Rolling Mill, scrutiny of receipts from water tax and regularisation of illegal water connections, letting out Nehru Stadium for staging the play Jaanta Raja and leasing the rooftop of the IMC market at MTH Compound to the nearby Gulreshwar Mahadev temple for constructing a Satsang hall.
A five per cent hike in Dearness Allowance (DA) as per Central directives, increase in fees for certifications issued by the (IMC) Public Works Department, sanction of medical assistance to Mohammed Ishtiaq, the mahout injured by a rampaging elephant at Kamla Nehru Zoo, and renaming of a garden and construction of a library in Kalani Nagar after RSS ideologue Madhavrao Golwalkar on his centenary would also figure.
