department, said the State Government has decided to take up road
development and drainage works in areas coming under municipalities
at a cost of about Rs 1,100 crore.

spending Rs 20 lakh per km of road.
Drainage works costing Rs 247 crore would be taken
up during the current financial year itself, he said.
A committee headed by district in-charge ministers
would identify roads to be developed and areas for drainage works and
also take care of quality issues.
A sum of Rs 74 crore has been released to urban
local bodies to meet drinking water requirements, he said.
