KMC to build Rs. 500-cr tunnels along major roads in Kolkata
Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC) intends to construct tunnels along major city roads to relocate underground utilities, preventing repeated disruptions. Mayor Firhad Hakim revealed plans to raise Rs 500 crore through financial bonds for this initiative, targeting roads like Chittaranjan Avenue, AJC Bose Road, and Gariahat Road. The move aims to streamline the process, eliminating frequent road digging, with the KMC roads department planning concretization after tunnel construction. The measure seeks to maintain road quality and ease travel for motorists.
