IDA Go-Ahead to 2 Road Works

  • Indore Development Authority (IDA) board on Monday gave its consent for construction of two 30 metre wide roads- one from Jhaliya road junction on bypass to Scheme No. 134 and another from Tigria Badashah junction to Medical Hub. The construction is estimated to cost the IDA Rs 3.49 crore. The tender has been approved by the IDA board.The construction of two roads is important as it will improve connectivity and infrastructure on super corridor, which is in focus for the past few weeks due to interest shown by the Infosys and the TCS in setting up centres on it. The IT majors are learnt to have set a condition for civic and infrastructure facilities at super corridor. The IDA will also develop road, sewerage and water facilities on land allotted to IT biggies.
  • IDA CEO Chandramouli Shukla said construction of Jhaliya road junction on bypass to scheme number 134 will cost Rs 1.43 crore while construction of Tigria Badashah junction, roads from the scheme No. 151 (roads from scheme number 169 B and 166 meets) to Medical Hub will cost Rs 2.15 crore.Beside this, the IDA also received a bid for 'gentry gate' on super corridor. Official said Indore-based Swastik Habitate India Private Limited has submitted a bid of Rs 2.76 lakh per gentry per year for next 10 years. "Super corridor has six gentry gates and the IDA will receive around Rs 1.7 crore revenue.
  • The board has accepted the bid," said Shukla, adding that the company would bear the cost of installing gentry gates. The IDA also settled 300 objections related to scheme No. 171, which was announced after the lapse of scheme No. 131. There were around 1,000 objections from land owner. Of these, 500 objections dealt with on November 3 and 200 objections on November 14.The remaining objections were settled on Monday. Official claims the board also agreed to exclude some colonies having approval from the Town and Country Planning (TNCP) and portion of land-especially in Khajrana area which has concrete houses from the proposed scheme. "All those areas, which have approval from the TNCP will be excluded from the scheme and we are hopeful to complete the scheme on time," said Shukla, adding that the "government does not want to uproot people from their settlement. At the same time, the city cannot be allowed to grow on its own as it will lead to mushrooming of several slums."
