Chief Minister Mohan Yadav said that there is a need for every possible effort to make Bhopal slum-free. He stated that buildings should be constructed first before vacating the slums to ensure minimal disruption for residents.
Yadav also stressed the importance of coordinating with public representatives for this crucial task. He directed that work should commence on making the city slum-free, with tenders finalized by October. Additionally, he instructed officials to complete the ongoing road projects within the set timeframes, ensuring the timely passing of awards after the tender process.
During a review meeting on saturday at Samatva Bhawan, his official residence, Yadav assessed the city's development projects and sought updates on the preparations for slum-free initiatives. The Collector of Bhopal provided a presentation outlining the development works.
Yadav said that infrastructure projects should be completed with a long-term vision, aiming to transform Bhopal into a metropolitan city over the next 25 years. He directed the Bhopal Metropolitan Development Authority to develop a comprehensive action plan for the growth of areas such as Raisen, Mandideep, Salamatpur, Sanchi, Rajgarh, Pilukhedi, Berasia, and Sukhi Sewaniya.
Yadav called for the timely completion of flyover construction across the district, including Bhopal city, and proposed the creation of an elevated corridor that preserves the aesthetic of the Upper Lake. He stressed the importance of maintaining quality in the construction of CM Rise schools and ensuring hospital buildings are completed on schedule to enhance healthcare services. Additionally, he instructed the completion of the AMRUT Yojana projects according to the established plan.
The Adampur Bio-CNG Plant and waste management systems should be developed using modern technology. The district has also received approval for approximately Rs 1,522 crore towards sewage, water, and pond revitalization projects.
Yadav emphasized the need for generating electricity in government buildings using solar energy and called for a campaign to make Bhopal a model city in this regard. He urged motivating residents to install more solar panels on their rooftops. He also instructed the phased completion of the Metro Rail project and proposed the development of a plan for the Vande Metro.
