Private firms will install cell towers via erecting vital structural infrastructure after you have a technical clearance from the engineering department, said an professional.

The corporation additionally plans to demolish the workforce quarters on Minto Road, and in Azadpur and Model Town, and redevelop these high plots into multistoreyed towers, where business house can be rented out whilst the workforce quarters can be built on upper floors.
Senior officials said they anticipated to get around Rs 60,000 per thirty days as rent from every tower. “The cell towers can be constructed on the flooring level if additional house is to be had and a per 30 days licence charge of Rs 292 in step with square feet can be levied via the civic body, as in step with the orders of the directorate of estates, urban building ministry,” said the professional.
