City roads to get a makeover New Delhi, December 10 According to the project, a whooping of Rs 2,000 crore will be spent wherein all major roads in the national Capital, covering a total of 802 km of stretch, will be rebuilt by the Public Works Department (PWD) in a span of two years. The project will also ensure beautification of roads, plantation on the central verge, installation of modern streetlights and building of footpaths along with laying of new roads. The 802 km of roads are more than 60 feet and were being handled by the erstwhile Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) before they were overtaken by the PWD in June keeping in view the improper maintenance of these roads. "We took the road in June and have already started the restoration work. The whole project will cost around Rs 2,000 crore," said Raj Kumar Chauhan, PWD Minister. The department has already awarded the tenders amounting to Rs 500 crore. "We had sought sanction for another Rs 300 crore, but due to the Chief Minister's unavailability following her illness, that has been delayed," he added. The department has engaged consultants from the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi and Roorkee, and Delhi Engineering College, Bawana, to conduct various tests for assessing the base of the roads. "In some parts of the city, the roads are already in proper condition. Therefore, we have appointed consultants to assess the standards that need to be followed," said the minister. The roads will be built of both type - concrete and bitumen. The concrete roads will be built only at places which are least dug by the other agencies. "Concrete roads cost three times more than bitumen roads. So, they will be built only where there is minimum digging take place," he
said. However, the minister said that concrete roads last much longer, around 20 to 30 years, whereas bitumen roads have life for only three to five years that too with proper maintenance. |

Manipur man held for Rs 100 crore scam New Delhi, December 10 Deputy Commissioner of Police (Special Cell), Sanjeev Kumar Yadav, "Singh joined a multi-level marketing company called Welkin Real Tech Pvt. Ltd. Parveen Thora was managing the company, while Kishanveer owned it." The company used to lure people by making an offer that if they initially deposited Rs 10,000 with the company, their investment will be tripled in three months, said Yadav. "The joining fee was fixed at Rs 1,500. On one ID, a member could invest a maximum amount of Rs 10 lakh. The company also represented that the money so invested by its members was being re-invested in real estate and share market. The accused played a key role in luring many Manipuris into investing in this bogus company by visiting them and also by arranging for their visits to Delhi," said Yadav. In February 2011, the company allegedly closed down after collecting money from over 23,000 members. According to the police, Singh allegedly remained underground and resurfaced in April this year at house No. A-162, Sector 46, Noida. |
