Amid increasing pressure on footpaths, the committee deliberated on the issue of reducing width

Footpaths ranging from 1 to 5 meters are constructed in different areas keeping in view the road width and local requirements. However, as various pressures are observed on the footpaths at many places, it is suggested to limit the width as far as possible and to build footpaths of lesser width as required.

The white topping road will be built on the utility side

Talking about the white topping/RCC road issue, the chairman said that white topping/RCC was done within three months after the construction of roads at one or two places in the eastern area.
