AHMEDABAD: The Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) needs all roads within the city to be resurfaced earlier than March 31. The AMC had previous set the closing date for completing the street resurfacing paintings by May 31.
Sources within the AMC mentioned that the ruling BJP does now not want bad roads to be a topic within the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. In the status committee meeting, all the deputy municipal commissioners had been requested to take up the topic with the street contractors and make certain that the works are finished earlier than March 31.
The officers were suggested to ask the contractors to place in additional machinery if required. Standing committee chairman Amul Bhatt mentioned that the street resurfacing paintings is happening in complete swing and the AMC has put in additional paver machines for resurfacing in two zones — South Zone and North Zone — and in the rest zones, one paver machine is operating.
He mentioned that the AMC has to make use of around three lakh metric tonnes of highway metal of which only 57,000MT has been used thus far. He, on the other hand, didn't have the figure of the length of the street to be resurfaced.
Another BJP office-bearer mentioned, "During the 2017 assembly polls in Gujarat, the party had to face a difficult situation because of bad roads and even a campaign was launched against it. This time the party is very clear that before the Lok Sabha elections, it wants the roads to be in good shape."
