KMC to allot open spaces, gardens to pvt sponsors for maintenance

Kolhapur, Aug 6 (UNI) The Kolhapur Municipal Corporation (KMC) has decided to launch 'nisarg alok scheme' under which open plots and reserved garden lands will be maintained and developed by private sponsors.

KMC Commissioner Kunal Kumar today said the corporation has inadequate funds to maintain existing gardens and hence it has decided to allot them to private sponsors for a period of three years.

The civic body spends about Rs 2.5 crore on annual maintenance of some 50 to 60 open spaces and 54 gardens in Kolhapur, he added.
