Ludhiana: Senior Deputy Mayor Praveen Bansal along with some MC officials left for Chandigarh to study two water supply projects today.

Bansal said:

AHMEDABAD: For close to a decade, Isanpur was given stepmotherly treatment by Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) with leaking drainage lines posing a serious health hazard in the area.

Ragpicking, one would assume, is the last area a corporate would want to foray into. But for ITC, which had in the past entered unorganised businesses such as manufacturing match sticks and incense sticks, it is a potential gold mine. Consider this: for 80 per cent of the 630 paper mills in India, waste paper is a key raw material.

Chandigarh: Moving a step forward in the proposal to run 100 AC and non-AC buses in the city, the UT Administration has awarded the contract for the project to Tata Motors. Confirming this, Secretary (Transport) Ram Niwas said:

KOLKATA, March 30: Unable to complete its slum development projects under the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM) scheme on time, the Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC) now faces a cost escalation of around Rs 80 crore. This amount will be borne by the civic body.

MUMBAI: Why are bicycles, which don't pollute, take up little space, are cheap and have virtually no maintenance cost, not a popular mode of travel in Mumbai? According to activists and cycling enthusiasts, the reasons are a mindset that favours motorised vehicles and a lack of infrastructure to promote cycling in the city.

AHMEDABAD: If development becomes driving force these general elections, there is surely one thing that the ruling party in Ahmedabad Municipal
Corporation (AMC) will wilfully avoid.
