Two prominent road stretches in Indore, namely Mahatma Gandhi Square (or Regal Square) to Chhawani via Madhumilan Square and Agrasen Square to Teen Imli Square via Navlakha Square, are all set to be revamped.
The beautification process, for which foundation stones have been laid by the mayor, has been budgeted at ₹11 crore. The developments include installation of benches, eye-catching sculptures and paintings, canopies, dustbins to maintain cleanliness, traffic signage signals and lights for illumination. Footpaths will also be constructed, besides erection of green belts and fountains to add to the greenery on these stretches. Moreover, the road going from Madhumilan Square to Chhawani will be widened.
Plans for the solar city
The aim is to make the commuting experience smoother and more efficient for the people of Indore. Efforts are also being put in to make Indore the best regarding the traffic management situation.
Additionally, in sync with plans to make Indore India’s biggest solar city, the Indore Municipal Corporation (IMC) has resolved to install solar panels at about 25,000 places in the coming months.
“We will ensure that about 25 to 30 thousand rooftop solar systems are installed in the next three months in the city. Thereafter, we will make sure that the solar city targets are met in the following months,” principal secretary (Energy) Sanjay Dubey had stated in January.
