No shortage of funds for civic amenities: MCD Chairman

New Delhi, July 9 (UNI) The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) has alloted Rs 275 lakh for upgradation of civic amenities in the city's industrial hubs under its Phase-I and II programme.

The programme, which begins soon after the monsoons, would see 'dense carpeting' of roads besides other measures in areas where industries were concentrated most, said MCD Standing Committee Chairman Jaikishan Sharma addressing members of the Delhi Chambers of Commerce and Industry.

Stating he was determined to provide better amenities like more public toilets, urinals and handpumps in industrial areas, Mr Sharma said cooperation of factory owners and industrialists was imperative to the schemes' success.

''Funds would not be a constraint for schemes related to public utilities,'' he added.
