Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): As the Bhopal Municipal Corporation (BMC) Council meeting looms on August 19, the Opposition is gearing up for a fierce debate. They plan to tackle the city's illegal commercial activities in residential zones, a move in line with Supreme Court directives. In addition, they are set to voice their concerns over the city's deteriorating road conditions and waterlogging issues that have plagued recent heavy rainfall.
The meeting, scheduled to kick off at 11 am at the Kushabhau Thackeray Bus Terminal council hall, will be led by Opposition corporator Shabista Zaki. Zaki hinted that poor road infrastructure and the aftermath of recent floods would be at the forefront of the Opposition's concerns. The council is also poised to deliberate on leasing several vacant BMC properties to rake in additional revenue.
The proposals include the New Market public relations office, Bhopal Smart City office complex, a vacant building near Manisha Market, and Harshavardhan Complex, among others. Together, these properties could bring in monthly rents amounting to Rs 51.14 lakh or around Rs 6.14 crore annually. The council will also consider an e-tender for Son Chiriya Hawks Corner at Nutan College, which could generate an estimated Rs 20.35 lakh in annual licence fees.
