JHANSI: The district administration has decided to make
Jhansi a city free from open drains by covering all big and small drains. This was announced by divisional commissioner
Ajay Shankar Pandey.
Talking to TOI, the commissioner said the decision would help in warding off dirt and filth that is visible all over the city due to a network of open drains which are also a source of many diseases.
The covered big drains would be converted as
green belts or be used as parking slots, he said.
He asked the officials to carry out all the scheduled
works under the smart city project within the stipulated time and budget.
“As Jhanas is being made a small city project, the officials concerned should start a project for
e-profiling of all the patients coming to the district hospital which will help in keeping records of the patients and also help in tracking them”, he said.
The other issues discussed in the meeting included constructing an elevated corridor at
Gwalior Road Railway crossing, latest processing plant for garbage disposal, a hockey museum in the memory of late Major
Dhyanchand, a multi-level parking, a cancer hospital and a blind school.
The commissioner asked the officials to appoint a nodal officer for each project, who will be reviewing the progress of the works on a regular basis.
