Mumbai ke civic body Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) ne current financial year mein city ke infrastructure development par record-level spending ki hai. Official data ke mutabik, BMC ne ab tak ₹19,000 crore se zyada amount sirf infrastructure-related projects par kharch kar diya hai, jo pichhle kuch saalon ke comparison mein kaafi zyada maana ja raha hai.
Is spending ka sabse bada hissa roads, bridges, flyovers aur major junction improvements par gaya hai. City bhar mein chal rahe road concretisation projects, bridge repairs aur new flyovers ka kaam is budget ka major focus raha hai. Civic officials ka kehna hai ki iska aim traffic congestion reduce karna aur daily commute ko smoother banana hai.
Infrastructure spending mein drainage aur sewage systems par bhi khaasa dhyaan diya gaya hai. Monsoon ke time par waterlogging aur flooding jaise issues ko control karne ke liye storm water drains upgrade karna, old sewage lines replace karna aur pumping stations ko modernise karna jaise kaam shamil hain.
BMC ke according, yeh heavy investment sirf short-term benefits ke liye nahi balki long-term urban planning ko dhyaan mein rakh kar ki ja rahi hai. Officials ka kehna hai ki strong road network aur efficient drainage system Mumbai jaise densely populated city ke liye future-ready infrastructure banane mein madad karega.
Civic body ne yeh bhi clear kiya hai ki aane wale mahino mein ongoing projects par kaam aur tez kiya jaayega, taaki maximum projects monsoon se pehle complete ho sakein. Residents ko umeed hai ki itni badi spending ka ground-level impact jaldi nazar aayega, khaaskar better roads, reduced traffic jams aur improved public services ke roop mein.
“Roads and bridges are definitely a priority, especially with Mumbai traffic. Hope this investment reduces congestion and improves daily commute.”
